Abstract:

Nowadays, children are constantly surrounded by mobile technologies. Children use them from an early age. Some teachers perceive them negatively, but they can assist in teaching if we use them appropriately. This paper presents findings of some possibilities for using mobile technologies, especially the augmented reality application (Measure app) usable in Mathematics in primary education. The method used for this research is quality research – observation. The results of the pre-research form the base for the direction of the further study concerning the augmented reality in teaching practice. The paper focuses on the educational potential of augmented reality for support in primary education. The paper presents the opportunities that augmented reality brings to primary education. We give a brief overview of selected application suitable for primary school children. We then focus on application of measuring length – Measure app, which is used in a research project in Primary school. Children measure the height and span using the app Measure and then compare the data with the data measured with the meter. We used semi - structured interviews with children. The research showed that children are more motivate or not with application with augmented reality and if their estimation improved.
