Abstract

The GoMath augmented reality (AR) application addresses the challenge students face in visualizing mathematical concepts, particularly geometrical shapes, by integrating interactive 3D animations with their learning materials. Designed for standard three primary school students, GoMath enhances engagement and comprehension by overlaying digital information onto real-world environments. Developed using the ADDIE methodology, the application was created in Unity with an interface designed in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Data collected from 40 respondents, including students, parents, and UNISEL students, indicated that most found the app user-friendly, with clear 3D object visualization and helpful audio features. The findings suggest that AR integration in mathematics improves conceptual understanding, making learning more accessible and engaging. The study recommends adding further interactive elements based on user feedback to enhance the learning experience and attract more users.
