Multiply with MI Using Multiple Intelligences to Master Multiplication

Katie sings the multiplication facts quietly to herself. Sam tries to solve problems by tapping his pencil in rhythmic patterns. José draws pictures from his teacher's tile-array models. Alima sorts her crayons into groups to help herself find the answer. Lin checks his solutions with his neighbor. Maria uses logic to extend her knowledge of simple facts to harder ones. These children naturally express their intelligence strengths as they attempt to master their multiplication facts. Their teacher knows that children learn in different ways and seeks to consciously translate these differences into learning methods that will be meaningful.
