An Evaluation of the Maths4All Project 2022-2024.
Project Report.

Abstract
The Maths4All project, initiated in 2019, has undergone three rounds of funding from Science Foundation Ireland. This report presents an evaluation of project activities during the period 2022-
2024. The overarching aim of the current iteration of the Maths4All project was to engage teachers in dialogue about mathematics education research, research-informed practice, and critical reflections
on teaching strategies. The project foregrounded professional learning communities (PLCs), where groups of teachers collaborate on an ongoing basis to inquire into their teaching practices and their
students’ learning with the aim of improving both. In total, 21 PLCs, 3 TeachMeets and 10 Researcher Webinars were facilitated. In addition, 21 new website resources were created.
The evaluation, conducted in collaboration with external evaluator Dr. Anastasios Karakolidis, used a mixed-methods approach. Online surveys were distributed by our partner Clare Education Centre and collected feedback from participants on Researcher Webinars, TeachMeets, and PLCs. Paper-based evaluations were used to capture feedback from in-person early years workshops. Focus groups were conducted to explore the experiences and insights of teachers leading PLCs. Online surveys were also used to gather feedback on the resources developed for the Maths4All website.
