Abstract: Teaching mathematics is a challenge for a teacher, mathematics being considered as a difficult stream of science to be taught in an interesting way. Storytelling is a very popular tool that has been well developed and investigated by the researchers to get its impact on students. The objective of this project is to present an innovative proposal to teach mathematics through digital storytelling in higher education. This proposal is based on the heuristic design of emergent models about the value of storytelling in the construction of mathematical concepts. The intention of this proposal is to use digital storytelling as a tool to introduce mathematical concepts at the university level.
