Abstract
The comprehension of large numbers ranging from zero to one billion has been proven
difficult for individuals across populations. In addition, AR is being more frequently used in
an educational setting. This study attempted to explore whether training large number
comprehension using AR could significantly improve the understanding of large numbers in
comparison to number line training. In the past augmented reality (AR) has been used
intensively for education and other purposes. To test the effect of AR-training on large
number comprehension a pre-test-post-test control group experimental design was used.
Results show that the mean improvement after AR-training was larger than after number line
training, although this difference was not found to be significant. In addition, participants
found the application used for the AR-training more usable in comparison to number line
training, however, these results were also not significant. Future research could be aimed at
minors. They have less comprehension of large numbers and could therefore benefit more
from the AR-training.
