Last year, I looked for a relationship between the math skills and favourite leisure activities (see appendix 2) of 10 grade 6 students. I found a relationship between Data Management and Probability skills and sports or dance as a favourite activity. This year I am looking for a relationship between a particular form of physical activity and Data Management and Probability test scores.

A study performed by the California Department of Education
(http://www.cde.ca.gov/cyfsbranch/lsp/health/pecommunications.htm) found that there was a relationship between academic achievement and physical fitness. The study also said that the relationship between physical fitness and mathematics was greatest. Specifically, the most physically fit students had higher mathematics scores.
In 1983 the theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Professor Howard Gardiner at Harvard University. There are eight different multiple intelligence categories, which are; linguistic intelligence, logical/mathematical intelligence, bodily/kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence. He found that school focused too much on the linguistic and logical/mathematical intelligences.
Is it possible that some intelligences are superior to others on some areas, like mathematics? Mathematics may be related to bodily/kinesthetic intelligence.
