Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) in education has gained much attention as an innovation that promotes tangible visualization and can therefore be applied in various fields of education, especially in enhancing students' conceptual understanding and visual and spatial abilities in mathematics. Geometry often poses challenges due to its abstract nature, but AR offers interactive visualizations that make learning more engaging and accessible. This study used a quasi-experimental design on second grade forty-six students' understanding of geometric shapes. The experimental group had twenty-three students engaged in AR-enhanced learning activities, while the control group had twenty-three students who followed traditional teaching methods. Results showed that the AR group significantly improved in both geometric understanding and visual-spatial skills. These findings highlight the potential of AR to make early mathematics education more effective and engaging.
