What is multiple intelligence? There are several types of intelligence that everyone has: visual/spatial, logical/mathematical, musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal and intrapersonal. It has to do with how we learn and retain information. This books offer ideas for activities to meet each of these different components under the topic of history. As a parent/teacher, you can choose to do as many or few of the options offered according to what will work best for your learners.
