Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences • Linguistic Intelligence- ability to use language effectively ex. Writing poetry • Logical- Mathematical Intelligence- ability to reason logically especially in mathematics and science. ex. Solving math problems quickly • Spatial Intelligence- ability to notice details of what one sees and to imagine and manipulate visual objects in one’s mind. ex. Conjuring up mental images • Musical Intelligence- the ability to create comprehend and appreciate music. ex. Playing a musical instrument
