The Enhancement of The Ability to Calculating Multiplication in Elementary Schools Using Cogglak Media to Catch Up Post Covid-19

Abstract

This study aims to improve the arithmetic ability of third grade elementary school in Mathematics, especially multiplication counting operations 1-10 of up to 100 using congklak media. This research was conducted using classroom action research through 2 cycles. The results of this study proved that congklak media can improve student learning outcomes. This can be proven in cycle 1 there is 8 students complete multiplication 1-10 in the story questions and stacked multiplication, and there is 10 students not completed, with classical completeness obtained by class III students in the cycle I this amounted to 44,45%. In this 2nd cycle, there is 16 students complete multiplication 1-10 in the story questions and stacked multiplication, and there is 2 students not completed, with classical completeness obtained by class III students in the cycle I this amounted to 88,89%. So that student learning outcomes from cycle I and cycle II have increased with completed students 70% with a excellent category. With the results obtained from this study, expected use of congklak media can be applied and increased in schools to make it easier for students to understand and perform multiplication counting operations using concrete and fun objects.
