Abstract

This paper concerns the design and implementation of a particular methodology for mathematics teaching/learning which exploits an interactive and immersive metaphor of storytelling. This research aims to promote processes such as inquiring, conjecturing, formalizing, proving in mathematics, and to investigate which is the best way to organize ICT tools to achieve that purpose. We also report the findings of an ongoing experimentation at the K12 school level.
