Logical/mathematical intelligence

Logical/mathematical intelligence is one of the many types of intelligence described in multiple intelligence theory. People with significant logical/mathematical intelligence are often good at logical reasoning and scientific investigation.

For example
A student with strong logical/mathematical intelligence may ask a lot of questions as they organize and categorise new information about language.

In the classroom
Certain approaches may be more suited to learners with strong logical/mathematical intelligence, for example the inductive approach, where learners find rules themselves from examples of the language.
