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.
