Possibilities of Augmented Reality Use in Mathematics Aiming at a Meaningful Learning

Abstract

This article aims to present various softwares in mathematics teaching, where visualization of mathematical objects is done by using Augmented Reality. This is a computational technique in which virtual objects are added in a real environment, allowing an enrichment of the information for students to visualize concepts and test hypotheses with the teacher, providing a more playful and meaningful investigative environment. Meaningful learning is the theoretical framework that guides the development and software use. Such softwares are characterized as potentially meaningful materials that are allied to the student’s prior knowledge and their will to learn establishes the basic pillars of the theory.
