People with high logical/mathematical intelligence create order out of chaos by analyzing, grouping, and categorizing. They recognize relationships, connections, and patterns more easily than people with less logical intelligence. Additional characteristics include the following:

• Ability to handle long chains of reasoning
• Likes reasons for doing things
• Possesses good inductive and deductive reasoning
• Quick to learn equivalencies
• Asks "why" and "how" questions
• Solves problems rapidly
• Likes to predict, analyze, and theorize
• Enjoys dealing with abstraction
• Strong at math and problem solving skills
• Sequential thinker
• Enjoys board games and games with rules

Activities for Logical/Mathematical:

• Playing store
• Science activities
• Anything they can take-apart and put back together
• Puzzles
• Recycling
• Weather Chart
• Computer (e.g., logical thinking, sequential software)
• Cooking
  
• Creating patterns by stringing beads

Even if this is not your childs "intelligence" these are important and simple ways of teaching math and science skills. Neither of them need to be hard, they only tend to seem so, go to A Place of Our Own to see more ways you can incorporate math and science lessons into everyday activities.
