An activity to learn exponents and powers for middle school students

The goal of the project is to develop ways in which students could learn, understand and use a middle school mathematics topic namely “ Exponents and Powers”, since these concepts become abstract and heavier during this period of Mathematics learning.

The solution is an in-home activity using augmented reality enabled smart-phone application along with common physical objects available to students at home. The application has the capability to augment duplicates of the objects detected in the real world with the smartphone camera and use those visualisations to perform tasks. The solution is evaluated for its effectiveness to make the students gain cognitive abilities as follows : Remember-fact, Remember concept, Use-concept, Remember-procedure and Use-procedure.
