In this research, we present the design of digital resources, carried out within the framework of the MC Squared project (http://mc2-project.eu). These resources are the so-called " c-book units " (" c " for creative), which are digital books produced within a socio-technological environment allowing meshing narratives with interconnected, interactive and dynamic digital artefacts (widgets), to enhance Creative Mathematical Thinking. We illustrate the design of a c-book unit within a biomathematics context aimed at enhancing creative mathematical thinking using a wide range of digital widgets.
