Therefore, the goal of this research is to review the literature on literary elements employed in mathematics instruction. In order to accomplish this, a literature search covering the years 1951-2021 was conducted using subject-related keywords including "children's literature," "story," and "mathematics." The studies obtained from the journals which are indexed in the Scopus using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) diagram.
