The ability to read and write is important because one has to understand what they are either signing or are supposed to do based off instructions. Math is needed to keep track of money, time management.
c) Sternberg’s thoughts on intelligence is that IQ is a narrow way of looking at one’s analytical skills. It does not cover the skills one uses outside of the school room or what one’s culture might find more important. Therefore, his Theory of Successful Intelligence is based on how one accomplishes their goal for life after figuring out what that goal might be. The challenge lies in the factors surrounding the person and the goal they want to achieve as well. He also thinks that the education system should consider the different way people learn instead of using the set standard that is in
