Abstract
Developments in mathematics education tend to emphasize mathematics teaching with the help of activities that will allow the students to create these concepts rather than to make them memorize mathematical rules. The purpose of this study is to analyze the applicability of the application of multiplication with fingers developed by the researcher. In the application, the relation between addition and subtraction is featured in teaching multiple table rather than memorization. Within the scope of this aim, an action study consisting of 3 steps was carried out with 11 the students who were studying on the 2nd grade of a primary school in the Sariyer district of Istanbul province for the period of 6 course hours.
