Abstract :
In the national Japanese junior high school mathematics curriculum, students are required to understand the number of sides and vertices on regular polyhedrons. In the case of regular polyhedrons having 12 or more sides, it was found that improvement in the existing classroom technology was possible. We surveyed and evaluated solutions using recently available Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technology for application in the junior high math classroom. The preliminary result shows that interactive 3DCG using AR is effective for learners of concepts in platonic solids.
