Based on the analysis results, the calculated t-value= 3.327>t-table-2.009 with a significance level of 0.002 <0.05, so Ho is rejected and Hi is accepted based on the hypothesis acceptance criteria. Therefore, the researcher concludes that the application of the cross-line method is significantly effective in improving the understanding of multiplication concepts among third-grade students at SD Negeri 2 Baubau.]]>
