Education today has changed with the advances of time and technology. The former environment of teacher-centric pedagogy has turned into a multi-faceted one. More interactive learning becomes an option for use in the classroom. Including mathematics subjects, digital-based education contributes to the effectiveness of teaching and learning methods. Mathematics is a subject that is less sought by students due to a variety of factors, including boring topics and abstract and complex concepts. The unchanged and unattractive methods of teaching also make students uninterested in this subject. With the help of the latest technologies such as augmented reality (AR), education is becoming more effective and creating a more interactive and entertaining atmosphere. Learning about abstract concepts in mathematical subjects can be simplified and better demonstrated through AR technology. This study aims determine the level of understanding and interest, in addition to identifying the relationship between the understanding level and the interest of students in mathematics subjects through the use of AR. A survey method using a set of questionnaire was conducted on 27 Form 2 students at a school in Temerloh, Pahang to get their views on the use of AR in their learning at school. The study finds that the level of understanding and interest is at a high level, and there is a significant correlation between the levels of understanding with the student's interest in the subject of mathematics through the use of AR. The implications of this study can help teachers to diversify teaching methods, especially by integrating technologies such as AR into teaching and learning to ensure more interactive and effective learning.
