The Effect of Teaching Math’s through Storytelling on Students' Math’s Achievement

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine whether the use of the narrative (storyline) method in middle school 5th grade mathematics class is effective for students' mathematics achievement and mathematics anxiety. The study is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. During the course of the application, decimal numbers were presented in the mathematics lesson using the narrative method in the experimental group whereas the traditional presentation method was used in the control group. The study was carried out with a total of 64 students who attended the 5th grade of a middle school selected by the purposeful sampling method in Bornova district of İzmir province. The mathematical achievement test and mathematics anxiety scale were used for data collection. The collected data were scored and analyzed according to the scale previously prepared by the researcher. According to the analysis; teaching decimal numbers using the narrative method resulted in increased mathematics success and decreased mathematical anxiety when compared to the traditional teaching method.
