Multiplication with fingers

I show the video in my multiplication classrooms. But i don't explain it. Kids are encouraged to view the video again and again and understand the process of solving equations using fingers. Its fun to watch the kids discuss, go back and forth, agree-disagree. This exercise puts the onus of learning on the student, shifting the onus of learning onto the learner is one of my favourtie classroom strategy.
