Integrating Digital Storytelling as a Pedagogical
Method in Math curricula through Art Ramifications

MathArtStories seeks to integrate Digital Storytelling as a pedagogical method in lower secondary Math curricula through Art ramifications, whilst strengthening teachers’ ICT knowledge and skills in doing so. In turn, it aims to enhance 13-15 y/o Math students’ interest and excellence in STEAM through an interdisciplinary approach that uses interactive simulations to strengthen their soft & hard skills for Math learning in the 21st century. 

Modern educational challenges call for systemic changes, with the 2025 EU Education Agenda highlighting an urgent need to build resilient and future-looking educational systems, through innovative, interdisciplinary pedagogical models that promote immersion, interest and most importantly, student-centered approaches.  

Project Results

Digital Storytelling can offer multiple resolutions to these, all at once, with its ability to motivate interest in learning and regulate students’ behavioral problems, resistance and aversion towards specific subjects (Dia-Eddine 2021).
Further, recent studies confirming students’ underachievement in problem-solving related to Mathematical learning (Umar et al. 2020) raise alarming questions regarding current teaching practices.

MathArt Stories intends to counter these by offering a theoretical framework for acquaintance to and understanding of an interdisciplinary storytelling approach, with in-depth information for secondary Math teachers, e-learning course modules on Digital Storytelling in Math through Art ramifications, and ready-to-use Interactive Simulations, non-digital scripts & storyboards where Math concepts, theorems & characters ‘come alive’ in an immersive learning experience.
