ABSTRACT

logically. It can include the ability to use formal and informal reasoning skills such as deductive reasoning and to detect patterns. Present study aims to find out the relationship between logical-mathematical intelligence and achievement in mathematics of higher secondary students. Fifty five higher secondary students were selected randomly as sample for the study. Survey method was adopted for the study. The data was collected using the  test on Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (LMI) and achievement in mathematics. Critical ratio, chi-square test and Pearson’s product moment correlation were applied to test the hypotheses. Interpretations were drawn based on the findings. Logical-mathematical intelligence of the higher secondary students was found to be an average and there was a high positive correlation between logical- mathematical intelligence and achievement in mathematics.
