Exploring the Intelligences

Subject: Math

TSW: Explore different ways to learn, utilizing the 8 intelligences.

Standards:
1M-E3: Demonstrate proficiency with the operations of multiplication and division with whole numbers.
PO 1. Calculate multiplication facts through 12

Introduce: Yesterday we talked about the different ways that we prefer to learn, and brainstormed some ways that we can honor that. Today, we are going to try them out using our multiplication facts.

Activity: Students will rotate in groups through 8 centers. In each center they will be given a different task to memorize a multiplication fact.

- Verbal/Linguistic: Students will create a rhyme or phrase to help them remember a multiplication fact.
- Logical/Mathematical: Students will find different ways of solving multiplication problems. For example, 8x5 is 40, 8 less is 8x4. 3x3 is 9, so 3 more is 3x4.
- Bodily/Kinesthetic: Students will create matrices showing the 5's times table, using various objects (beans, smushed marbles, cotton balls, paperclips).
- Musical/Rhythmic: Students will create a song or rhythm to remember a fact.
- Visual/Spatial: Students will draw a picture representing a multiplication fact.
- Intrapersonal: Students will independently practice a times table of their choice.
- Interpersonal: Students will pair up with a friend to quiz each other on times tables using flash cards.
- Naturalistic: Students will brainstorm ways to arrange the tomatoes for the garden using a multiplication matrix (i.e. 3 plants across and 4 plants down).

After everyone has rotated through each center, students will reflect in journals about which activity they preferred and which one they remember the fact from the best. Is it congruent with their dominant intelligence?

Students will share what each group came up with at each of the creation stations (Verbal, Musical, Logical, Visual, Naturalistic)

Materials: Multiplication flashcards, beans, smushed marbles, cotton balls, paperclips, construction paper or chart paper, markers.
