摘要：

The paper draws from a hermeneutic phenomenological research study, which aimed at exploring the meaning of teachable moments from the lived experiences of grades 6-8 mathematics teachers. A primary and important stage of hermeneutic phenomenological study is for researchers to begin their research with a personal story. This paper presents the results of this primary stage, which focused on one of author's experiences of storytelling in a grade 6 to 8 mathematics classes for the purpose of humanizing mathematics as a way of engaging both the 'being' of mathematics students and their cognitive faculties. Data was collected from personal teaching stories of one of the researcher/author. The paper argues that teacher's storytelling humanizes mathematics in ways that engages both the 'being' and cognitive faculties of a student.
