This research is motivated by the limited number of studies on independent learning in mathematics for elementary school students, despite the fact that this phenomenon has a significant impact on learning outcomes and critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of fourth-grade elementary school students in developing independent learning in mathematics through the application of the Jarimatika method to multiplication. The method used was qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were 10 fourth-grade elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the Jarimatika method provides a fun, easy-to-understand learning experience and helps students develop independence in solving multiplication problems. Furthermore, students feel more confident, actively seek strategies, and take the initiative to practice independently outside of class. These findings align with constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes the importance of direct experience in building knowledge. The main conclusion of this study is that the Jarimatika method plays a significant role in fostering student learning independence in multiplication. The implications of this study include theoretical aspects, namely enriching the literature on practical-based mathematics learning, and practical aspects, namely recommendations for teachers to implement innovative methods that encourage student learning independence. This research also opens up opportunities for further study on the development of Jarimatika-based media in the broader context of mathematics learning.
