Multiple intelligence (MI) theory put forward by Howard Gardner, a psychologist of Harvard University, is a wholly new theory about intelligence structure of human being. It thereby provides the theory basis for extracurricular activities of mathematics teaching in middle school. It also enhances the practice of extracurricular activities of mathematics teaching and the accordant overall evaluation made by the middle school teachers. This article analyses the characteristics, the current situation and its educational value of extracurricular activities of mathematics teaching through defining extracurricular activities. Thus the author established the principle and several common organizational forms of extracurricular activities of mathematics teaching. The author also conforms the content of extracurricular activities of mathematics teaching under the guidance of MI theory, and provides some personal practical cases of such activities based on the author's practice. Finally the author designed the evaluation of extracurricular activities in different ways based on the MI theory.The article is divided into six parts as follows:Part One: Raise the thesis and discuss its significance.
