The purpose of this study is to analyze responses of children and teachers in elementary school to math texts applying storytelling in use, and propose some efficient methods for teaching the noumenon of math concept via storytelling math according to analyzed results. For this purpose, we choose 2nd grade children and teachers in J Province for the effects of the storytelling questionnaire study. The results of the survey lead that most children add zest to the math and most teachers are positive to the storytelling math, however, some of low-level and high-level math children lose their interest in math, and some teachers need some systematic devices to help them understand sufficiently and can teach the storytelling math meaningfully. Therefore, there seems to be needed a program that help children develop the achievement of math and teachers teach the storytelling math expertly.
