Do the Multiplication (Dothem): A Mobile App to Improve Multiplication Techniques for Level 2 Primary School Students

Learning multiplication is often considered as difficult by the primary school students. However, it can be made easy by using a motivating and engaging technology-based instructional material such as a mobile application. Taking that into consideration, this study attempts to investigate the effects of a mathematical mobile application named as Do The Multiplication (DoTheM) on improving the understanding of multiplication techniques among the Level 2 primary school students. DoTheM is designed and developed based on the Year 4 and Year 5 syllabus and contains five multiplication techniques, namely Japanese, Vedic Math, Anyone, Multi II and Fast Maths. This study employed a single group experimental design with a sample of 30 Level 2 primary school students. The data analysis for this study involves descriptive analysis and paired sample analysis. The findings of this study showed that there are significant differences in their achievement and understanding of the multiplication operations when the students experience the DoTheM app. The results suggest that the DoTheM mobile application could improve the Level 2 primary students' ability to solve multiplication operations using the five techniques illustrated in the mobile application.
