We start with two boxes, multiply by one box, and now still have two boxes.

Here's another example:

Brown Box LimeGreen Box times Black Box Box Black Box Box equals Brown Box LimeGreen Box Brown Box LimeGreen Box

We start with two boxes, multiply by two boxes, and now have four boxes. We take our two boxes two times to get four boxes:

Brown Box LimeGreen Box Brown Box LimeGreen Box
