Possibilities of Using Immersive Technologies in Teaching Mathematics

The article examines the current issues of the introduction and use of immersive technologies in the educational process, focusing on their potential for improving the assimilation of mathematical knowledge. The main goal of the research is to identify and analyze the possibilities of immersive technologies, in particular virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), in the context of mathematics education. The modern digital context determines the orientations of the development of educational priorities and requires a rethinking of the forms, methods, means and technologies of education, in particular in the field of natural and mathematical disciplines (STEM). The digital transformation of education in Ukraine involves the joint efforts of teachers, psychologists and specialists in digital technologies to solve modern tasks in the field of creating a digital educational environment. The main goal of the research is to analyze the possibilities of using immersive technologies in mathematics lessons in modern conditions, taking into account possible challenges and outlining prospects. The author examines the use of augmented reality (AR) technology in mathematics education, pointing out the need to involve digital components in the educational process and suggesting the use of the BYOD concept for distance and blended learning. Free applications such as ARBook, GeoGebra 3D are presented, in particular using examples of the use of interactive educational materials. The role of visualization in teaching mathematics is highlighted, emphasizing that it increases the speed of assimilation of the material. Immersive technologies have a positive effect on students' interest in mathematics, allowing them to interact with mathematical objects. The use of AR helps to visualize abstract mathematical ideas, making them more understandable. This is especially useful for the development of spatial thinking. In general, the integration of immersive technologies in the teaching of mathematics is an innovative step that opens up new opportunities for learning the subject and increases the effectiveness of learning. It is concluded that the introduction of AR technology can contribute to the improvement of the quality of education, stimulating the interest of students and replacing traditional methods of explaining mathematical material.
