ARmatika: 3D game for arithmetic learning with Augmented Reality technology

Learning mathematics is one of the most important aspects that determine the future of learners. However, mathematics as one of the subjects is often perceived as being complicated and not liked by the learners. Therefore, we need an application with the use of appropriate technology to create visualization effects which can attract more attention from learners. The application of Augmented Reality technology in digital game is a series of efforts made to create a better visualization effect. In addition, the system is also connected to a leaderboard web service in order to improve the learning motivation through competitive process. Implementation of Augmented Reality is proven to improve student's learning motivation moreover implementation of Augmented Reality in this game is highly preferred by students.

I. Introduction

Mathematics is one of the important subjects that must be mastered by every learner. Mathematics is important to master because it will be implemented in some variety of majors which will be taken by every learner such as sciences, economics, socials, psychology, communications, and politics [1]. As an example, an economist would have to understand about math to calculate the inflation rate or other things related to the subject of economics, a social expert proven the impact of a social event using a mathematical function, even a communications specialist must use math to validate and represent a set of data. Mathematics as one of the elements of study at primary school level is also proof of the importance of it to be master by learners [2].
