Abstract
Inspite of many strengthens of storytelling mathematics education, some problems are expected: when math is taught in concrete contexts, students may have trouble to extract concepts, to transfer to noble and abstract contexts, and they may experience inert knowledge problem. Low achieving students are particularly prone to these issues. To solve these problems some suggestions are made by the author. These are analogous encoding and progressive formalism. Using analogous encoding method students can construct concepts and schema more easily and transfer knowledge which shares structural similarity. Progressive formalism is an effective way of introducing concepts progressively moving from concrete contexts to abstract context.
