We used wood sticks (found in ice-cream bars) for the stand. It was fairly easy to work with wood sticks as they were easy to cut and glue.
The prototype came along well and now we had to connect it to the handyboard and test a working prototype.
This blog gives an overview of the design process for a tangible user interface that teaches kids multiplication in an interactive and fun way. It uses Grid Method, which helps children learn multiplication using a grid, where to do 3 x 2 you would create 3 rows & put 2 objects in each row, then do a total of all objects. This method was used as it gives a sense of physical space, you can visually see why 3x2 is 6 and would not be 5, and with a grid you can physically operate with objects.
