Abstract: The accomplishments of Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences in elementary mathematics instruction shows the scope of this theory in enhancing the efficiency of elementary mathematics instruction and the mutual effects of mathematics instruction on this theory’s applications. Nowadays, the instruction system has been traditionally emphasizing mostly verbal and mathematical intelligence. Tests, assignments and teaching methods all support the verbal and mathematical intelligence and most of the unique talents and abilities of students in other fields are downplayed. Gardner believes that every person possesses different degrees of seven primary forms of intelligence including verbal, logical – mathematical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, visual – spatial, musical, intrapersonal and interpersonal, though Gardner himself introduces directly a separate intelligence for math. However, other kinds of intelligence are effective in teaching mathematical objectives. It seems that success in mathematics instruction requires the use of more types of intelligence.
