Art of Storytelling as a Pedagogical Scaffolding

Storytelling has been a tool for teaching and learning across various disciplines, but rarely seen in mathematics. This Paper explores the effectiveness of storytelling as a pedagogical tool in mathematics education. The objective of the paper is to try out the importance of storytelling as a pedagogical approach in mathematics in learning mathematics at primary level and to understand the effectiveness of storytelling in learning mathematics. The litrature reveals that storytelling can be an effective pedagogical tool in mathematics education, enhancing conceptual understanding, engagement among students and with teachers, communicating mathematically, reasoning and problem solving skills, connecting with real-life experiences, collaborative learning, motivation, retention and many more compared to those taught through traditional methods. The review highlights the need for research on a larger scale, exploring the long term effects and potential implementation of storytelling in various educational contexts. The storytelling into mathematics curriculum can make the class more enjoyable, interactive by providing a good learning environment. Ultimately, the Research work has proven to be highly effective by improving the overall education outcomes. The objective of this paper is to try out the importance of storytelling as a pedagogical approach in learning mathematics at primary level and to understand the intervention of storytelling in learning mathematics
