The traditional method of learning math often struggles to grasp kid's attention and concentration. But what if learning math felt more like a game? What if numbers could be seen, touched, and interacted with the real world? That’s exactly what augmented reality (AR) in education aims to achieve. This blog will document my journey in developing an AR-based math game for children aged 6-10, exploring how technology can make learning both fun and effective.
