Learning theories can contain different abstract information that explains "how learning takes place." Experiencing this abstract information online in the field of mathematics, which is an abstract discipline, can be difficult for both teachers and pre-service teachers. Therefore, it is important for students to experience the constructivist approach, socio-cultural theory, APOS theory, and intuitive Rules Theory, which are considered to be important for mathematics, with creative drama. Accordingly, this study answers the following question: How do elementary school pre-service mathematics teachers experience learning theories with creative drama? This study uses the case study method, which is one of the qualitative research methods. This study included 21 participants studying at the department of elementary school mathematics teaching at a state university who were selected with the purposive sampling method. The data were collected using semi-structured questions and workshop evaluation forms. The data collected from the participants via e-mail were analyzed from the perspective of content analysis. The findings from the study show that pre-service teachers' experiences of the constructivist approach, socio-cultural theory, APOS theory, and intuitive rules theory are grouped under three themes, namely mathematics, drama and theory, and various sub-themes. Furthermore, the study also includes findings on the ideas of pre-service teachers that they can use learning theories with the help of drama in mathematics lessons.
