The effectiveness of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) to improve pupils motivational level and performance in mathematics

Geometry is considered as an essential component to be mastered in the primary school mathematics curriculum. However, it is classified as a difficult topic among lower primary pupils as it requires them to have a clear understanding in order to be expert in shapes and spaces. In line with this, a r...
