Abstract
This paper describes an action research that aimed at improving pupils’ performance in doing multiplication involving times tables more than five, which is the six, seven, eight and nine times tables. This study involved five Year 4 Malaysian Primary school pupils who were selected from 30 pupils who had sat for a test consisting of questions on multiplication. The study examines the use of the “Vedic Method” to do multiplication problems involving times tables more than five by making use of times tables from zero to five. Hence, the five participants chosen were pupils who demonstrated an ability to recall their one to five times table but had difficulties recalling the six to nine times tables. The participants of the research were able to overcome their difficulties with the use of the “Vedic Method”
