Workshops towards teaching fractions by usingcreative drama method were carried out in the eight-week period and 23 lecturehour(6 workshops). According to the findings, it can be said that the creative dramaimplementations have had a positive impact on the attitude scores of the students.The results of “Leader Evaluation Form” was determined that the participants tookan active role in the process.

In this way, it was seen that theircreativity came forward during their participation in the process and it wasobserved that participation in the actives that have a mathematics-based contentwas increased. In the evaluations of the process, participants had correct answers tothe activity papers from the mathematical perspective.
