Recently I read an awesome article about the Egyptian numbers and Math wrote by Raúl Ibáñez:

(In spanish)
If you don't know spanish you can also read:

And I also recommend this awesome video:

Reading the article I found out that the Egyptian maths were so interesting, I made some sums and multiplications and I decided to make a phisical versión of the egyptian numbers with an special box to make the sums (multiplications are more complex, and you'll need a paper)
In my opinion is a funny kit to learn some history in a history or math classroom.
Hope you like it!
