Its a.......checker board

Anyone know what this black roll might be???
Its the key to long multiplication.
I finally finished making a felt checker board and I am delighted with it. It took so long to make as i made so many mistakes and had to restart several times. Part of this has been stitched by hand during the school meetings and the rest on my mothers sewing machine.

How do you actually use this? I've never seen it before. I work primarily with 3-6 year olds. Would this be a material that a precocious 6 year old might be able to do?

I would love to see the "checker board" in use or directions on how to use it. We do a very eclectic homeschool with a lot of montessori inspiration.
