Dawn Andermann

Andermann's "Mostly Manipulative Math" program uses manipulatives, game formats, and technology integration taught through engaging, problem-solving class activities and math centers to enrich Waterman Elementary's existing math program. Activities are scaffolded to allow struggling students to participate in entire class activities. Math centers are student-friendly to encourage independent student work and replace math practice sheets with engaging, problem-solving activities. The program helps students improve their problem solving and critical thinking skills, makes math more engaging, and helps students meet the State of Illinois Mathematics Goals.
