design and implementation of a series of school pilot projects and university case studies;
consultation with students, educators, academic staff, mathematics curriculum experts, Indigenous teachers and other stakeholders in the design, delivery and evaluation of the project;
publication of project findings and effective digital learning resources with an Indigenous focus to a national web portal;
presentation of project findings and resources to a range of forums for Indigenous student events, and professional learning events for teachers and academics;
data collection to measure the success of the project against AMSPP program objectives and project objectives, and
