Математическата приказка като устойчив педагогически инструмент за оптимизиране на обучението по математика
The Mathematical Fairy Tale as a Sustainable Pedagogical Tool for Optimizing Mathematics Education

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the potential of the mathematical fairy tale as a sustainable pedagogical tool for improving mathematics education. In light of declining student motivation and the high anxiety often associated with mathematics, the paper emphasizes the advantages of narrative-based approaches that combine cognitive and emotional learning dimensions. Drawing on international reports and the work of Vygotsky and Simeonova-Ingilizova, the study positions the mathematical fairy tale within the field of innovative practices. Unlike models requiring significant technological or artistic resources, it is characterized by accessibility, universality, and adaptability across cultural and socio-economic contexts. The article outlines its applications in introducing new concepts, consolidating prior knowledge, and providing alternative assessment formats that reduce stress. At the same time, it acknowledges challenges linked to teacher preparation and cultural adaptation, arguing that the mathematical fairy tale represents both a promising method and a practice requiring careful pedagogical consideration.
