Logic Mathematics Intelligence deals with logic, abstractions,
reasoning, numbers and critical thinking according to Howard Gardner.
It is the capacity to reason, calculate, recognize patterns and handle
logical thinking. Lavigerie House has got members with different capacities in
doing things. Our life in the community portrays who we are and how we relate
with one another by communicating in an understandable language. Normally, we
are asked to be precise in our speech as a form of clarity for easy
understanding and apprehension. This helps us in formative encounters,
spiritual directions, and as well passing information to individuals or to the
community.

It is a nice experience to stay in Lavigerie House; here we
have got different levels of Logical-mathematical intelligence. Things are done
in an organized way in different aspects of formation. Our apostolate is
organized in such way that each student can get different experiences before he
finishes his third year. We normally work in pairs which is an expression of
mathematics.
Academic life is one of the four pillars of formation of
Missionaries of Africa in Lavigerie House. In our formation house, we perform a
variety of activities that involve counting and basic sequencing of tasks, for
example; putting things in order.

In addition, we are able to perform various patterns of
thinking used in our daily lives, such as making lists, creating schedules,
setting priorities, and planning something for the future. Most of us have
personal timetables for our own different programs. All these are highly
developed by philosophical courses like critical thinking we attain from the
consortium. Each individual has got a certain responsibility to perform as
community service. For example, assistance bursars, sacristans, gardeners, librarians
and others are developing this intelligence from the work they do.
Finally, we are able to engage in different abstract issues
from the knowledge we get from the logic course, which help us to make our
premises well organized before they are communicated. Recently some students
are taking the course of conflict transformation which helps them to be able to
engage in abstract thinking based on conceptual information. Really we enjoy thinking and abstraction of ideas. This shows that
we are naturally mathematician in whatever we do.
