<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Jarimatika method combined with Tapertis media in improving elementary school students' understanding of multiplication concepts. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental intact group comparison type design. The research subjects consisted of 17 fourth-grade students of SDN Candigaron 03 who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Data collection instruments were in the form of tests (pre-test and post-test) and observation sheets. Experts carried out media validation with an average result of 56.33 (outstanding category). Data analysis used paired sample t-test, t-test, and simple linear regression. The results showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results in both groups. The average post-test score of the experimental group was higher (84.89) than the control group (77.12). The regression test showed that Tapertis media significantly affected understanding of multiplication concepts (p < 0.05). This study concludes that the Jarimatika method, supported by Tapertis media, is effective for use in mathematics learning to improve elementary school students' understanding of multiplication concepts.]]>
