There are some great examples of modifying numbertalk - style activities using SAMR, and redefining mathematics learning using Padlet as a collaborative tool.

To accompany a Unit in measurement (solving problems involving surface area and volume of composite solids), and trigonometry (applying knowledge of sine, cosine and area rules to authentic problems), year 10 students will be given a Problem-based-learning (PBL) Problem Solving and Modelling Task  (ECU, 2022; Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), n.d.) to apply their mathematical knowledge of 3D composite shapes, volume and surface area, to design and create either optimized beverage packaging, or a prototype of a First Nations Eel trap (Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC, 2022).

By the makers of AutoCad and Inventor, TinkerCad(Autodesk, 2022)is an introductory 3D design freeware for preparing students for developing 21st century critical and creative thinking, ICT and numeracy skills, measurement, apply ratios and scaling, and work with transformations in a 3D space. They can import and modify common shapes to construct 3D composite prototypes, developing spatial reasoning to visualize and analyze and make decisions analogous to real world of engineering design. This will complement manual calculations and provide perspectives to compare and contrast and make inferences to solve complex problems relating to surface area and volume of composite solids.

In the sequence, Google Blogger(Blogger.com, 2022) and an adapted version of a teacher-designed interactive virtual design-fair Google Slides presentation (Google.com, 2022) provide complementary digital technologies to support real-world interactions through systematic, chronological communication of ideas to community experts and other students. Google Blogger allows students to project manage their work, communicating ideas from multiple perspectives using written, and visual literary methods, receiving two-way feedback and collaboration with teacher, other students and community experts as they progress, promoting high expectations and holding themselves accountable for project management, quality, legal, safe and ethical expectations in their work, while collaboration in a virtual Google Slides design-fair allows students to display their creations to a wider expert audience, promoting ownership and further building world-wide community connections (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), 2018).

Used together, these digital technologies provide a transformative learning experience where students can plan, think critically and creatively on a shared purpose, creating an authentic design using ICT, communicating ideas with community experts, applying literacy, numeracy and content knowledge in a real-life, constructivist, student-led PBL approach to promote active citizenship and a deeper understanding (Hobdell, 2022), meeting the General Capability requirements in the mathematics context (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA), 2018) (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), 2021).
