Abstract

Some students face difficulties in calculating multi-digit multiplication operation, moreover students only familiar with the certain method to solve multiplication operation. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of Lattice Method on students' multiplication test score achievement. The research employs a quasi-experimental with non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. This study involved the whole 6th grade students of Gracia Sustain Elementary School in the first semester of the school year 2017/2018. The samples were assigned into two groups: Class VI-B containing 27 students, representing the experimental group and Class VI-A containing 28 students, representing the control group. The experimental group students were taught using Lattice Method while the control group students were taught using the conventional method. Students' multiplication test score achievement was measured using post-test at the end of the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent-sample t-test. Independent samples t-test results showed that there was a significant difference in mean mathematical achievement between the experimental group (M = 78.52, S.D. = 22.481) and the control group (M = 59.29, S.D. = 28.665) ; p = [ 0.008 < 0.05 ]. These findings showed that the use of Lattice Method enhanced the students' multiplication test score achievement.
