This study was conducted to study the Effectiveness of Applying Computational Thinking in Game-Based Learning (GBL) to Year Three Basic Multiplication. This study used a purposive sampling method to obtain 42 Year Three students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Sentul Utama as a sample of the study. The design of the study used to find the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable were Quasi-Experiment and One Group One Pre-test Post-test. The effectiveness of this study was also tested through the hypotheses of studies evaluated through independent T-tests. Next, the researcher used SPSS software version 23 for analyzing the findings of the study. The main findings of the study showed that there was a difference in significant value for the mean pre-test and mean post-test between the control and treatment group with a significant value p = 0.004, which is the value less than 0.05 (p <0.05). This shows that applying computational thinking in Tic Tac Toe is more effective than conventional learning in topic basic operation for third-year students. In addition, the results showed that there was a significant value difference between pre-test and post-test scores for the treatment group with p = 0.000 less than 0.05 (p <0.05). Therefore, the study found that the application of Computational Thinking in Game-Based Learning (GBL) to the Three-Year Operations Basics had a positive impact on students' academic achievement.
