The document summarizes Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which proposes that intelligence exists in several distinct forms rather than as a single general ability. It outlines the 7 main intelligences - linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. For each intelligence, it provides examples of skills, famous people who demonstrated that intelligence, potential careers, and classroom activities to engage that type of learning. The document was created by a junior gifted and talented class to teach about Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences.

3. The theory of multiple intelligences is
Howard Gardner’s theory that proposes that
people are not born with all of the intelligence
they will ever have. It says that intelligence
can be learned throughout life. Also, it claims
that everyone is intelligent in at least seven
different ways and can develop each aspect of
intelligence to an average level of
competency. Intelligence, as defined by
Gardner, is the ability to solve problems or
fashion products that are valuable in one or
more cultural settings.

4. The 7 intelligences included in Gardner’s theory are:
*Verbal/ Linguistic
*Visual/ Spatial
*Interpersonal
*Musical/ Rhythmic
*Logical/ Mathematical
*Intrapersonal
*Bodily/ Kinesthetic

5. There are 8 Criteria for Defining Multiple
Intelligences:
*Each of the intelligences can potentially be isolated by brain
damage.
*Each of the intelligences exists in exceptional people (savants or
prodigies).
*Each of the intelligences has a process of developing during
normal child development and has a peak end-state
performance.
*Each of the intelligences is evidenced in species other than
human beings.
*Each of the intelligences has been tested using various measures
not necessarily associated with intelligence.
*Each of the intelligences can work without the others being
present.
*Each of the intelligences has a set of identifiable operations.
*Each of the intelligences can be symbolized or has its own
unique symbol or set of symbols.

6. The theory of multiple intelligences
has encouraged the idea that a
person is not born with all the
intelligence they will ever possess.
In the rest this slide show, each of
the intelligences will be explained
to give you a better understanding
of Howard Gardner’s theory.

7. Linguistic

they are able to identify a problem and solve it
right there on the spot. People with this
intelligence think by reasoning, and they love
experimenting, questioning, figuring out logical
puzzles, and calculating.

18. Spatial
Intelligence

19. What is spatial intelligence?
Spatial intelligence is the brain’s
ability to perceive and interpret visual
stimuli. In other words, it’s how our
minds process what we see. Although
not very recognized, spatial
intelligence is very important in the
arts and in everyday life.

20. Why is spatial intelligence
important?
The way that we visually perceive and
interpret the world around us is an
important quality to have. In the arts, the
ability to transfer a vision to a painting,
sculpture, or film is a key quality. Careers
such as architecture, require a person to
transfer a vision of a structure into a
blueprint. Spatial intelligence is even used
by average people to remember small, but
important facts; like how to travel from
your school to your house. Everyone uses
spatial intelligence in everyday life.
