What is the main difference between Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)?

• VR adds digital elements to a live view using a smartphone camera, while AR creates a completely virtual environment.

• VR is used only in education, while AR is used only in games.

• AR requires a VR headset, while VR can be experienced with a mobile phone.

• VR replaces the real world with a simulated one, while AR overlays digital content on the real world.

Which of the following best describes Virtual Reality (VR) in education?

• A type of video game

• A 2D simulation of real-world environments

• A fully immersive, computer-generated environment that allows user interaction

• A digital textbook

What is one major advantage of using VR in teaching mathematics?

• It replaces the need for textbooks

• It simplifies assessment grading

• It enables 3D visualization of abstract math concepts

• It makes math less rigorous

Which of the following is NOT typically required to use a VR Lab?

• VR headset

• High-speed internet

• Whiteboard markers

• Compatible VR software

How can VR improve spatial reasoning in students?

• By reading mathematical definitions

• By providing 2D animations

• By allowing manipulation and exploration of 3D geometric shapes

• By focusing on procedural practice only
