Who is a logical learner?
Logical learners can be referred to as a mathematical learners because they enjoy dealing with numbers.
They can easily solve complex and complicated mathematical equations which include Trigonometry, algebra, simultaneous equations, and the likes of them.
Most times, they can calculate mathematical problems without the use of a calculator and are very quick to notice a logical error if any exist.
Moreover, they find it easy to write computer programs which is normally a difficult task for other types of learners. Logical learners can be abrasive at times.
Characteristics of a logical learner

Study tips for logical learners
Write out key points:
Logical learners don’t like to write long notes. They prefer to write out the key points. So this is what they do, when they are studying, they just jot down the key points and read them later, thus making them more productive.
Make it logical:
When teaching them, create connections with what you are teaching and make it very logical. When you do not create connections with what you are teaching, it begins to look and sound ambiguous to them.
Logic attached to learning makes it easy for them to recall the information when needed.
Just do it:
Logical learners can spend ample time thinking about how to do something that they may never get to do, this can be referred to as “analysis paralysis”.
So as their teacher, it is way easier when you just encourage them to do it so as to avoid analysis paralysis. When they suffer analysis paralysis, this can be very discouraging for them and frustrating too.
