Augmented Reality Integration in Mathematics Education: Implications for Enhancing Students' Conceptual Knowledge

Augmented Reality (AR) has been recognized as a powerful tool for facilitating classroom instruction. This concept paper discussed the significance of integrating AR in mathematics teaching and learning to enhance students' conceptual understanding. Conceptual knowledge in mathematics is essential for comprehending the relationships among facts, principles, and procedures that support logical reasoning and problem-solving. However, Malaysian students' performance in mathematics has shown a concerning trend, partly due to traditional teaching approaches and low student interest. AR integration is viewed as an innovative approach that can enhance learning by making it more interactive, visual, and student-centered. This paper outlines the objectives, issues, challenges, and implications of AR used in mathematics education, and proposes strategies for effective implementation. Overall, AR has the potential to transform mathematics education, making it more relevant to the demands of 21st-century learning.
