Here are our activities aimed at empowering these two types of intelligence. Although Gardner classifies interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences separately, there is a lot of interplay between the two and they are often grouped together. These types of intelligence are both connected to interaction with peers/with oneself.
Interpersonal intelligence is the core capacity to notice distinctions among others, particularly contrasts in their moods, temperaments, motivations and intentions (Gardner, 1993, p 42. Intrapersonal intelligence has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities, as well as with having a deep understanding of the self. It can be seen as the internalised version of the interpersonal intelligence. More details about ways to involve students with these dominant intelligence types in Math activities are to be found in our pedagogical guide. File archive Access from my desktop.
