This is one of the reason for conducting this research, the purpose of this research was to find out how feasible application of the multiplication that has developed, and to find out whether application of the multiplication could improve elementary school students in learning mutliplication. This study uses the Reasearch & Development (R&D) method. Analysis of the data used is descriptive analysis. The results show that the ability of students to understand concepts has increased after using the application in learning as evidenced by the results of test analysis with gain-score values, in the first and second stages of the trial, the medium category was 0,57 and the second stage of the trial was 0,59. Based on this, it can be interpreted that students agree that learning by using application of the multiplication can help increasing understanding of concepts
