This article aims to share results of the research carried out with students identified with exceptional abilities which promoted the strengthening in them of the skills of logical-mathematical intelligence proposed by Howard Gardner. It followed a mixed methodology. Information was collected through open interviews to teachers of mathematics, structured interviews to parents and surveys for students, in addition to the implementation of didactic activities of more demanding academic topics such as: whole numbers, Fibonacci series, the Euclidean algorithm and equations. From this outstanding results of the strengthening of the following skills were obtained: make series, draw conclusions, handle calculation of algorithms and solve problems. It was concluded that students who have exceptional talents should be assisted for a time so that the capacities are not truncated from the contribution of the school, parents, and directors.

Keywords : didactic; logical-mathematical intelligence; exceptional abilities.
