<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in the material of multiplication operations in elementary school classes. This study aims to determine the learning outcomes of students before and after using colored wooden sticks as learning media, and to analyze the impact of using these media on improving multiplication learning outcomes. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach and a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample involved 45 third-grade students who were divided into an experimental class and a control class in an elementary school in Bandung Regency. Data collection techniques used tests, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially, which included normality tests, homogeneity tests, initial ability difference tests, hypothesis tests of differences in improvement, and analysis of improvement using N-Gain. The results of the study indicate that the use of colored wooden sticks as a descriptive medium helps students in visualizing the concept of multiplication as repeated addition through concrete experiences, although statistically the hypothesis test shows certain comparative results between the experimental class and the control class.]]>
