<![CDATA[This study was motivated by several problems due to the students' understanding of multiplication material was still low. The students still have difficulty in distinguishing between examples and non-examples of multiplication, interpreting questions in the form of pictures into multiplication and implementing multiplication in word problems. It is caused by the learning methods that are still conventional, such as using lecture and memorization methods in mathematics learning, so students tend to feel bored and unenthusiastic. This study aims to determine the effect of the fingermath method on students' mathematical understanding of multiplication material toward third grade students at SD Negeri 17 Sungaiselan. This study used a quantitative approach using the True-Experimental Design method, Pretest-Post-test-Only Control Design type. The sampling technique used random sampling technique. The subjects of this were 21 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. Data collection techniques are carried out using tests. Data analysis techniques used the normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing using the Independent Samples Test. Based on the results of the normality and homogeneity tests, it can be concluded that the data is normally distributed and the two variances are homogeneous. Meanwhile, the results of the hypothesis test obtained a value of sig < α, namely 0.042 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the fingermath method on the mathematical understanding of third grade students at SD Negeri 17 Sungaiselan]]>
