What's the math you're trying to teach?

2nd Grade math multiplication.  Someone suggested to use bottle cups or beans.

It's a cool idea but it won't work for the specific math you're trying to teach.  Can you explain a bit more what it is you're trying to do?  I'm curious what is motivating this effort.

First of all I need to explain the concept.  For example, for 3 x 4, I can make 4 group of beans.  Each group should consist of 3 beans.  I will test his understanding.  Then he can memorize time tables.  What do you think?
