AR in Math Classrooms

Implementing Augmented Reality in Math Education Benefits & Guide Objectives: Why Texas Math Students Might Benefit From AR Objective 8 groups together the concepts and uses of measurement and similarity found within the TEKS. More videos demonstrating how to use Google Sketchup in Geometry are available at Google Sketchup alllows students to develop their working knowledge of geometric concepts by creating and modifying 3D structures, both simple and complex. In other words, geometry. Furthermore, Special Education students attain 43% correct on Objective 8 (Lowest of all 10) http://mathforum.org/sketchup/videos.html TAKS Data reveals areas of deficiency Objective 8 is the 2nd Lowest Objective on Exit Level Math TAKS Source: http://www.utdanacenter.org/highered/alg2/downloads/III-StateStandardsandObjectives/III-E-Grade11_TAKSObj.pdf Data Support Demo by Johnny Kissko @ K12MobileLearning.com Become this "Augmented Reality" refers to a display in which simulated imagery, graphics, or symbology is superimposed on a view of the surrounding environment Source: http://www.emagin.com/technology/glossary.php [Google] Sketchup is a 3D modeling program designed for architects, civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions.
