An Analysis of The Effects of Augmented Reality Activities in Teaching Fractions on 5th Grade Students’ Math Achievement and Attitudes

In the scope of the study, augmented reality activities for the fifth-grade mathematics were designed and administrated with students during mathematics lesson. Sixty, fifth grade, students from a middle school in Marmaris - Mu？la participated to this study. This study was designed as pretest - posttest experimental research method without control group. An achievement test about fractions was applied as pre-test and post-test to students. In addition, Mathematics attitude scale developed by A？kar (1986) was also administrated as pre-test and post-test to observe the change in attitudes of students towards mathematics. As a result of the study, it was found that there was a significant difference between the scores of the pre-test and the post-test application of the achievement test. The students' attitudes towards mathematics were also found to be significantly different between pre-test and post-test applications. Moreover, it was also observed that there was no significant difference in gender-based attitudes after the study while the positive attitudes of male students were more favorable than that of girls before the study, and that positive attitudes were balanced among male and female students during this study
