Virtual Educational Robotics (VER) consists of using virtual platforms where students can design, build, program, and operate robots, serving as a replacement for traditional educational robotics that utilizes physical kits. This paper proposes the design and implementation of an educational strategy that utilizes this type of technology to determine its impact on the teaching and learning processes in selected mathematical topics within secondary education in Mexico. A quasi-experimental research study was conducted to assess the impact of virtual educational robotics on specific topics in Analytical Geometry in secondary education in Mexico. A pretest and post-test were administered to two groups (experimental and control), and it was found that the experimental group achieved better results in the specific topics of Analytical Geometry. Although the overall mean of the control group was slightly higher, it can be concluded that the use of VEXcode VR improved learning compared to traditional didactic strategies.
