DuPage Children's Museum: Aunty Math

Aunty Math This is the eleventh year that Angela Giglio Andrews has been "Aunt Mathilda" for these math challenges, which are appropriate for children from kindergarten through 5th grade.

Angela recently retired in 2005 from Naperville Community School District 203 in Naperville, IL. where she taught both remedial and accelerated mathematics to children in grades K-5. She previously taught kindergarten at Scott School in Naperville for seventeen years. Prior to this, Angela spent ten years as a preschool teacher and director of a large preschool in Bolingbrook, IL.

Soon after retirement, Angela began her new career as an assistant professor at National Louis University in Lisle, Illinois, teaching pre-service and graduate courses in mathematics education. She is also a Math Recovery trained teacher leader and trainer.

Angela is active in state and national mathematics organizations as well. She served as an early childhood through 6th grade director of the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and as a reviewer, writer and editorial panel member of Teaching Children Mathematics, the journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. She worked as a member of the writing team for N.C.T.M.'s recently released Professional Standards for School Mathematics.

The first kindergarten teacher in Illinois to receive the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics Instruction, Angela was also honored by the Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics with its Excellence In Elementary Mathematics Teaching award, and by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum And Development for Excellence in Kindergarten Instruction.

A charter member of the DuPage Children's Museum, Angela has been an important resource to the museum as a key math and science consultant. We are delighted to bring this truly interactive link to the internet.

Email Angela, if you have any questions or need assistance from her.
