This study was conducted to improve the academic achievement of students in the subject of mathematics at the secondary school level through the application of multiple intelligences theory-based activities at the secondary school level. The researcher used a true experimental design in this study. The population of the study comprised of all secondary school students of district Bannu and 60 students were randomly selected as a sample of study who were further divided(based on pre-test score) into two equivalent groups (Control and Experimental). The experimental group was taught through MIT-based activities, while the control group was taught through the traditional method of teaching. This treatment lasted for eight weeks.  At the end of the procedure, a post-test was conducted to find out its outcome. The data obtained was analyzed by SPSS. To compare the achievements of both classes, researchers used the Independent Sample t-test and the Paired Sample t-test. To find out its effect size, Cohens'd was used. Results showed that the experimental group taught through multiple intelligence theory-based exercises has good academic achievements as compared to the results control group taught through the conventional method of teaching.

This paper approaches the problem of diversity in an educational context. The balance between diversity and unity is an old philosophical question. Education has not been spared the struggle for the answer to this dichotomy. The application of multiple intelligences theory, based on the administration of a MIDAS questionnaire, has revealed a detailed panorama of the potential of a group within the context of the education system. The problem of diversity is not bound to the direct teaching or immediate address of this potential. It is not only a question of the immediate but also a question of what the future holds and how this potential unfolds and is folded by the context of the global village and its speeded time spiral. Keywords: Educational diversity, cultural diversity, multiple intelligences theory, interpersonal intelligences, intrapersonal intelligence.
