This study configured an integrated math program in which young children can directly participate
through storytelling, a teaching technique that has recently earned great popularity. The purpose of
the study is to have a positive effect on their mathematical disposition and self-efficacy through the
adoption of this program. The program consists of the following five themes: ‘understanding of the
basic concept of numbers and calculation’, ‘understanding of the basic concept of space and figure’,
‘basic measurement’, ‘understanding of rules’ and ‘basic data collection and result representation’. The
specific activities for each theme planned and executed according to a detailed plan were designed
for 20 classes including integrated activities such as story sharing, fine arts and games. The study’s
participants were 48 five-year old children. The result of the research was that the experimental
group’s mathematical disposition and self-efficacy score was significantly higher than the control
group. The Storytelling-Integrated Math Program was effective in young children’s cultivating
mathematical disposition and improving self-efficacy. Considering the reality that there has been
some confusion and difficulty in carrying out storytelling math and an integrated math program
based on the NURI curriculum, it appears that this study could provide a specific and effective
teaching-learning program to teachers who want to introduce a program like this.g
