You\u2019ve probably heard about the theory of multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner by now. According to this psychologist, there ‘s no unique intelligence but there are eight different intelligences that can be developed independently<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As there are so many different intelligences, each person has some of them more developed than others, becoming the corresponding strengths and weaknesses. In education it ‘s really important to ensure the proper development and empowerment of students\u2019 different intelligences<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as we know, each intelligence proposed by Gardner it\u2019s a whole world. This is why we\u2019re addressing it with several posts in this blog, so we\u2019ll focus on one type of intelligence each. Today, it\u2019s time for mathematical-logical intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know how to develop your students’ mathematical-logical intelligence? Keep on reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start: what is mathematical-logical intelligence?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Broadly speaking, mathematical-logical intelligence is the ability to solve logical and mathematical problems, as well as the ability to think abstractly<\/strong>. Observation, analysis and synthesis are also part of this type of intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This intelligence has always been considered as the unique one, and it was used as the basis to establish the level of intelligence of a person. Over time, other types of intelligence have been considered, but mathematical-logical intelligence remains as the most important one in our current society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know that you can help develop mathematical-logical intelligence in class? Hereafter you\u2019ll find some activities you can do in class, whether it’s primary or secondary education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 1: Mathematical problem resolution for all levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No matter if you teach primary or secondary, mathematical problem resolution is a great option to boost their mathematical-logical intelligence<\/strong>. You can use a quizz<\/a> to do so (remember you can use mathematically raised questions in Additio\u2019s quizzes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For primary students you can raise calculation problems according to their age, geometry problems, or similar. <\/strong>The most important point here is to exercise their reasoning and analysis skills  to solve the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For secondary students you can raise more complex mathematical problems, whether algebra, trigonometry or others.<\/strong> The most important point here is to reason the answer successfully and implement the analysis skill to solve problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Activity 2: Easier or more advanced logic games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Logic games are activities you can play either in primary or secondary. You can play strategy games like chess or go, or try other mathematical games such as sudoku or nonogram.<\/strong> In all these cases, playing these games in class will boost your students’ strategic thinking and it will also allow them to analyze patterns that help them with decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take your time to properly explain what each game is about, the rules that must be followed and how to solve problems they may encounter. Also, it\u2019s important you\u2019re able to provide constructive criticism to your students so that they can learn from their mistakes as the game goes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 3: Classification and sorting for primary students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another activity you can try is to sort and classify objects<\/strong>, with primary students. The idea is for children to learn to sort objects\/animals\/and other elements according to their color\/size\/length\/etc. and also to learn how to classify them in categories. As in the previous activity, it\u2019s about analyzing patterns and empowering the analysis skill to solve the problem<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity 4: Research projects for secondary students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For secondary students, research projects are a useful way to boost their mathematical-logical intelligence. Although there are lots of different topics, here you have some:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
