Augmented Reality in Mathematics Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the application of augmented reality technology in mathematics education. To accomplish this, papers related to Augmented Reality (AR) and mathematics, indexed in the Web of Science, ERIC, and SCOPUS databases from January 2010 to June 2024, were analysed. The review process identified a total of 645 items: 415 from the Web of Science, 113 from the ERIC, and 117 from the SCOPUS. Following the application of our relevance criteria, unrelated articles were removed, resulting in a final selection of 96 articles for examination in this study. The findings indicate a year-on-year increase in publications, reflecting the growing prominence of AR in the field. However, there seems to be a recent trend of stabilization, which may be temporary. Also, most of these studies were conducted with middle school or university students. Based on the reviewed papers, there is a trend that AR applications are generally prepared for the geometry and measurement topics of mathematics courses. Although there are some limitations such as insufficient technical infrastructure, operating system incompatibility, and the shift of attention to software rather than content, AR can positively affect students’ attitudes and interest towards mathematics, motivation, spatial ability, creative thinking skills, high-level strategy use, and self-efficacy.
