As part of the Institute of Education’s \u2018Big Questions\u2019<\/em> research video series,\u00a0Dr. Natthapoj Vincent Trakulphadetkrai<\/strong><\/a> (Lecturer in Primary Mathematics Education) answers the following Big Question: ‘What if maths was taught through storytelling?’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In this video, Dr. Trakulphadetkrai explains that students sometimes complain that learning mathematics is boring and difficult as mathematical concepts are sometimes taught in a very formulaic and abstract way – very different from how students might experience them in real life. He argues that teaching mathematics through storytelling particularly in the picture book format can work much better.<\/p>\n

Later in the video, he highlights his MathsThroughStories.org<\/strong><\/a> initiative which encourages teachers and parents globally to teach mathematics using story picture books. The website also provides several free on-line resources. Since it was launched in March 2017, the\u00a0website has been viewed over 250,000 times by more than 48,000 teachers and parents from 180 countries.<\/p>\n
