Students working on a word problem sometimes missed the answer for some reasons. The most common reason is that the students misinterpreted the question. Word problems sometimes mention a vocabulary that is somewhat difficult to define by the students. Besides, word problems, especially algebra word problems, are not easy to be visualised because the comparative vocabularies used are confusing for some students. As a result, they end up with incorrect conclusions instead. As such, this study aims to create augmented reality-based student’s worksheets to assist the students to visualise algebra word problems using animations. This is a design and development study, which consists five stages. The first stage is investigating students’ needs (amid covid-19 pandemic in particular). After that, the augmented reality-based student’s worksheets are designed by considering the investigating result. Next, the worksheets are constructed before being tested and evaluated. Based on the evaluation, the worksheets are revised then finally it is ready to be implemented. The recent progress of the research is that the augmented reality-based student’s worksheets has been revised and ready to be implemented. The worksheets allow students to study from home by scanning codes using their devices (android smartphones are advised) then video animations will appear and explain the algebra word problems they are working on.
