Traces of Augmented Reality in Learning Mathematics: A Survey

Abstract

Augmented reality(AR) has been widely explored in the fields of gaming, medicine, advertising and social media. It is gradually penetrating into the field of education. The paper tries to address the gap in the methodology and concepts utilized so far and reviews the recent trends of AR in mathematical education. AR based learning methods are available in teaching various subjects such as physics, chemistry, although not very popularly implemented. AR approaches are available in mathematical teaching as well but majority for school curriculum. This study refers to the various zones of analysis to get an aerial overview of the quantitative study. The key factors for implementation and adaptation of the technology are backed by factors such as high cost, technology glitches, health issues and challenges to bring the correct collaboration of technology with the classical teaching methodologies in classrooms. Here a crisp list of tools utilized for mathematical education purposes is studied. The keyword search narrowed approach is tabulated with article counts. It aims to make mathematics easily accessible and understood by a larger community of remotely located students. In view of exploring and understanding the penitration and furthur scope of infiltration of augmented reality in education of mathematics, the paper gives an overall review of the concept and its recent statue of advancement.
