  • This study is motivated by the theory of multiple intelligences which reveal that a student will be able to learn mathematics well, if it is delivered in accordance with the intelligence that matches with his/her intelligences. Because the intelligences of students in the classroom are diverse, teachers need to use a variety of ways so that the students can also be facilitated in accordance with the intelligences they have. Therefore, it is needed mathematics learning instruments integrating multiple intelligences. This is a developmental research that uses a model of Plomp development consisting of preliminary investigation, design, realization, and phase of the test, evaluation, and revision. The objectives of this research are to describe the process and results of developing mathematics learning instruments, as well as acquire it which integrates multiple intelligences on topics of cuboid and cube for the eighth grade students of Junior High School. The instruments were trialed on 25 students at grade VIII of SMP Negeri 1 Bojonegoro year 2010/2011. The results showed that the learning instruments are categorized as good learning instruments. The instruments consisting lesson plan, student’s book, student’s worksheet, assessment sheet are valid. They are also practical shown by the average of the experts stated that it can be used by little revision, and the average of learning implementation is categorized as a good implementation. They are also effective, shown by the student’s activity of multiple intelligences involvement is effective, student’s learning outcomes is classically successful, and student’s response is positive.
