Description
Summary:The purpose of this action research was to investigate the effectiveness of multiplication table usage to primary school’s students. Most of level two students of SK Supok Roban Sarawak having difficulties in answering questions related to multiplication. I used multiplication table method and introduced its diverse uses in solving multiplication- related questions. This research involved twenty Year Four, Five and Six students of SK Supok Roban Sarawak. Pre-test, post test and interviews were used in collecting data. The result of this research showed that multiplication table was effective in increasing students’ mastery in multiplication as well as increasing improving their grades in mathematics. An obvious increment could be seen from the grades’ comparison between pre-test and post test which was 40% to 85%. It was hoped that teachers and educators can use this multiplication table method as one of teaching strategy in effort of making mathematics is fun to learn and meaningful to the primary schools ’ students.
