This research project aimed to explore how a commitment towards education for social justice amongst mathematics teachers could be translated into pedagogy and classroom practices which promote such aims. The critical research model of participatory action research provided an effective means of realising these aims, enabling the project to have a

considerable impact on the thinking and classroom practice of the teacher researchers, and the engagement and mathematical agency of their students.

The initial conceptualisation of teaching mathematics for social justice offers a useful starting point for generating an alternative vision of what mathematics teaching might look like. The critical research model provides a means through which this alternative vision might begin to be realised, whilst at the same time providing an effective model of professional development for teachers. It also provides a model of research that generates trustworthy knowledge, which is relevant and applicable to the classroom situation, and which has the potential to bring about positive social change.
