Using a Bloom’s matrix in the classroom is a perfect way to differentiate curriculum for the students in your classroom. When teachers create a range of activities and lessons using Blooms Taxonomy they create opportunity for everyone to achieve at their best levels. It is particularly powerful for extending students thinking which deepens their levels of understanding.

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences strategies are also a must in my classroom and are a perfect way to facilitate your learners learning preferences and yet another way of getting the best for all learning styles!

When Blooms taxonomy and Gardner’s multiple intelligences strategies are combined in a Blooms Gardner matrix during your planning, a perfect learning storm can be created! The Blooms Gardner Writing Matrix is one such storm!

Take a look at some of these awesome activities, tools and visuals that we have found to help you plan and teach your next Gardner & Blooms Lesson.
