This article discusses some innovative methods that teachers can use Virtual Reality (VR) in the classroom to improve student learning. It offers experiences that would otherwise be difficult due to geography or financial constraints, and children will learn by exploring as if they were in a real situation. Students can absorb and understand things faster by engaging in these activities rather than hearing and reading about them. Educators find it tough to explain arithmetic to students, but these apps will help them understand it better. CalcFLow allows you to interactively explore and manipulate vectors while visualizing math topics.  VR Math allows students to see geometry, graphs, and vectors in 3D, and students can better understand them.
