Logic/math:You enjoy exploring how things are
related, and you like to understand how things work. You like mathematical
concepts, puzzles and manipulative games. You are good at critical
thinking. Here are ways to work with this intelligence in your lessons:
- Arrange
cartoons and other pictures in a logical sequence.
- Sort,
categorize, and characterize word lists.
- While
reading a story, stop before you've finished and predict what will
happen next.
- Explore
the origins of words.
- Play
games that require critical thinking. For example, pick the one word
that doesn't fit: chair, table, paper clip, sofa. Explain why it
doesn't fit.
- Work
with scrambled sentences. Talk about what happens when the order is
changed.
- After
finishing a story, mind map some of the main ideas and details.
- Write
the directions for completing a simple job like starting a car or
tying a shoe.
- Make
outlines of what you are going to write or of the material you've
already read.
- Look
for patterns in words. What's the relationship between heal, health,
and healthier?
- Look
at advertisements critically. What are they using to get you to buy
their product?

Self: You have a very good sense of self.
You like to spend time by yourself and think things over. You will often
take in information from another person, mull it over by yourself, and come
back to that person later to discuss it. You like working on projects on
your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and error. Effective
techniques to enhance your learning include keeping a journal and giving
yourself time to reflect on new ideas and information. More ideas:
- Go
on "guided imagery" tours.
- Set
aside time to reflect on new ideas and information.
- Encourage
journal writing.
- Work
on the computer.
- Practice
breathing for relaxation.
- Use
brainstorming methods before reading.

to and read "how to" tapes and books.

Body Movement: You like to move, dance,
wiggle, walk, and swim. You are likely good at sports, and you have good
fine motor skills. You may enjoy taking things apart and putting them back
together. Incorporating body movement into your learning will help you
process and retain information better. Here are some ideas.
- Trace
letters and words on each other's back.
- Use
magnetic letters, letter blocks, or letters on index cards to spell
words.
- Take
a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a story.
- Make
pipe cleaner letters. Form letters out of bread dough. After you shape
your letters, bake them and eat them!
- Use
your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to write letters
and words in the air.
- Change
the place where you write and use different kinds of tools to write,
ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large pieces of paper.
- Write
on a mirror with lipstick or soap.
- Take
a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.
- Handle
a Koosh ball or a worry stone during a study session.
- Take
a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

The scores for your other five intelligences:
Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t
mean you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is
above three, you’re probably using that intelligence quite often to help you
learn. Take a look at the Practice section
to see how to engage all your intelligences.
