Intelligences, Part 4,Logical-Mathematical Intelligence:What does it mean to be Number/Logic Smart? Logical-Mathematical
(Number/Logic Smart) learners like to find patterns or sequences,
consider
cause and effect relationships, enjoy experimenting and using the
scientific
method, and generally think in terms of concepts and questions, forming
and testing
hypotheses, and emphasizing rationality.They are generally good at using numbers to solve problems or
make
calculations.This kind of thinking has
been heavily emphasized in traditional schooling, second only to
Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart). Some ways
we can all become more Number/Logic Smart are: ·Play games that use strategy and
logic, like
chess, checkers, or do “brainteaser” kinds of puzzles (with words
and/or
numbers)
·Watch TV programs about science or
math, as many
PBS shows, read magazines on these topics, or visit science museums
·Do more math problems in our heads,
and find how
many ways we can solve them; practice estimating objects around us for
number
or measurement
·Write down questions we have about
our world,
and then research to find some answers
·Do experiments or science projects
(many ideas
can be found online)
·Work with someone who is a strong
logical-mathematical learner
·Teach someone else something we know
from math
or science
·Think about numbers we see around
us, in the
news, etc., and ask questions about them
·Learn about the history of
mathematical thinking
·Build a website or use a computer
for other work
·Think about how we solve problems,
and how we
can use all of our smarts to solve problems more easily
