|b The purpose of the current study defined the nature of the correlation between mathematical fluency as one of the components of creative thinking and some types of multiple intelligences (linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence) among the students of mathematics departments in colleges of education in the province of Baghdad through answering the following questions 1 - Do the mathematics sections students in colleges of education in the province of Baghdad; have the mathematical fluency which represents the quantitative aspect in creative thinking? 2- Is there a difference between males and females in this variable? 3- Is this student having some types of multiple intelligences ((linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence)? 4 - Is there a difference between males and females in the types of intelligence? 5 - Is there a correlation relationship between the mathematical fluency and some types of multiple intelligences (linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence) among the students of mathematics departments in colleges of education in the province of Baghdad? What type? 6 - What is the nature of this correlation relationship according to the gender variable? The results fond by the researcher indicate: 1 - The male and female students in mathematics departments in colleges of education in the province of Baghdad acquire mathematics fluency in comparison with the median average compared with. 2 - Equal performance of the male and female students in mathematics fluency test prepared by the researcher, and the difference between the averages is not statistically significant. 3 - The male and female students in mathematics departments in colleges of education in the province of Baghdad acquire some types of multiple intelligence they are respectively mathematics logical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, finally came the spatial intelligence. 4 - Supremacy of females to males in the linguistic intelligence test. 5 - Equal performance of the male and female students in mathematics logical intelligence and spatial intelligence test prepared by the researcher, and the difference between the averages is not statistically significant. 6 - There is a positive correlation relationship between mathematics fluency and linguistic intelligence, mathematics logical intelligence of the male and female students but it is considered a weak relationship, were as there is no relationship between mathematics fluency and spatial intelligence. 7 - There is a weak positive correlation relationship between mathematics fluency and linguistic intelligence, mathematics logical intelligence of male students in the study sample, were as there is no relationship between mathematics fluency and spatial intelligence. 8 - There is a weak positive correlation relationship between mathematics fluency and linguistic intelligence, mathematics logical intelligence of female students in the study sample, were as there is no relationship between mathematics fluency and spatial intelligence. In light of the results of the study the researcher recommended:- 1 - Orientation to curricula designers in the ministry of education to adopt the fundamentals that came in to Gardner theory of multiple intelligence, when building and developing the educational curricula in general and in mathematical in particular differ in their attitudes, orientations, and personalities, and thus to invest all the mental activities owned by these students and work on their development. 2 - Recommended to colleges of education to reconsider its education curricula, as it is responsible for supplying teachers to educational institutions to confirm that intelligence is not fixed but can develop all kinds of it depending on the people nature and their abilities. In addition the education curricula must include thinking skills teaching, and creative thinking. 3 - Take advantage of the theory of multiple intelligences on the level applied in the process of learning and teaching through the use of school applications of the principles of that theory, which has contributed significantly to the improvement of school education and discover and identify individual differences between students and the difficulties of learning and special education. To complete and develop this study the researcher has suggested the following:- 1 - Conduct a similar study in preparatory and secondary levels to see mental capacity owned by the students in these stages and levels of familiarity to be there in this capacity and leading to the integration of database information to the organizers of the curriculum in the Ministry of Education and Higher Education both. 2 - Conduct a similar study to the students of the fourth stage in the mathematics departments in colleges of education to establish the extent of ownership of types of multiple intelligences and mathematical fluency. 3 - Studies dealing with the mental abilities of students in science faculties in Baghdad for the purpose of comparison, between them and the students of education in this ability.
