1.You could Visualize it2.You could Diagram it
(spatial intelligence)3.You could just Do it (bodily-kinesthetic(haptic) intelligence 4.You could Calculate it mathematically
(logical-mathematical intelligence)5.You could Verbalize it
(linguistic intelligence)
A man and a woman are standing side by side with their weight on
their right feet.
They begin walking so that each steps out on his or her left foot.
The woman takes 3 steps for each of the man’s 2 steps.
Problem #1
