Prisms VR, a secondary math learning application, allows for users to see, manipulate, and engage with mathematical concepts in an embodied way in Virtual Reality (VR) environment. We examine cases in which mathematics teachers and middle school students worked through Prisms and reflected upon their experiences. Findings indicate that VR environments can help teachers find alternative ways of presenting algebraic concepts in a hands-on, interactive, and embodied manner; and these findings were confirmed based on the student experience. VR allows teachers to make connections through scaffolding and personalized experiences, while also aiding students in the exploration and meaning-making.
