Howard Gardner the theory of Multiple intelligence's was created and analyze in 1893, Gardner concept of intelligence was defined in psychometric ( IQ test)., and the results didn't find any cognitive abilities that humans display. The theory stated that a child who can multiply, doesn't necessarily be more intelligence or have stronger skills than a another child they might have a different kind of intelligence . The child master multiplication may learn through a different approach, may excel in a field outside of mathematics, may even be looking at and understanding the multiplication process at fundamentally level. A deeper fundamentally understanding of multiplication, that looks like slowness can hide a mathematical intelligence than a child with higher potential who learned, memorizes the multiplication table( Wikipedia.com).

Howard Gardner theory of multiple intelligence had eight abilities that meet his criteria:
