2.  Dr. Howard Gardner
developed the theory of
multiple intelligences in
1983.
 He wanted people to
look at intelligence
differently than has been
seen in the past.
 Historically, schools
focus most of their
attention on linguistic
and logical-
mathematical
intelligence(Armstrong
200).

3.  Dr. Gardner defines
intelligence as “ ability
to solve problems or to
create products which
are valued in one or
more cultural settings”.
 According to Gardner,
8 different kinds of
intelligence are
displayed by humans.

5.  “ word smart”
 This intelligence
involves being able to
manipulate language.
 Having the ability to
express oneself
rhetorically, and
poetically.
Famous examples:
Charles Dickens,
Abraham Lincoln.

6.  “Number/reasoning
smart”
 People who have this
intelligence are able
to detect patterns,
and are able to think
logically and have
great deductive
reasoning skill.
Famous exampleS:Albert
Einstein, John dewey

7.  “ Picture smart”.
 Spatially intelligent
people are able to
visualize the
concepts that are
needed in order to
solve problems

13.  YES!!!
 Although the
intelligences are
anatomically separated
from each other ,
Gardner claims that the
eight intelligences very
rarely operate
independently.
 Rather, the intelligences
are used concurrently
and typically
complement each other
as individuals develop
skills or solve problems.

14.  It is important that all teachers
understand the different intelligences
among students and apply the lessons
developed in the classroom to each
student.

15.  LECTURES while

blackboard
 ASKS to students
questions about the
assigned reading or
handouts

in creative ways such as;
-Drawing pictures on the
whiteboard
-Showing a videotape to
illustrate an idea

17.  Playing music at some time during the
day
 Providing hands-on experiences
 Having students interacting with each
