Logical thinking is the ability to demonstrate behaviors such as effective use of numbers, producing scientific solutions to problems, classification, generalization, making comparisons. One of the fields used as logical thinking is mathematics. While teaching mathematics numbers, processes, geometry, geometry, proportion, and many more subjects, it also teaches to discover patterns according to its nature, to make minds, to make predictions, to think reasonably, and to conclusions. The purpose of this research is to study how number sensory performance varies according to the logical thinking abilities of class teacher candidates. The sense of numbers, which is an important contributor to mathematical success, requires the ability to use numbers and processes in a meaningful way, the ability to develop effective and useful strategies and the ability to make flexible calculations. This study, which discussed the relationship between logical thinking ability and number sensation, studied how the number sensation performance of the teacher candidates varied according to the logical thinking ability. The study was carried out by 206 class teachers. The candidates were subjected to the logical thinking ability test and the number sensation test. Correlation analysis and one-way variance analysis have been applied for extractive statistics related to research problems. The findings obtained showed that there are significant differences between the number-sensory performance of the teacher candidates according to the levels of logical thinking ability. There has also been a meaningful and positive relationship between the ability to logical thinking and the performance of number senses. The number-sensory performance of candidates depends on the number-sensory components, mathematical structure and numerical systems in which the questions in the number-sensory test belong, depending on the logical thinking skills. The development of the candidates’ mathematical-rational thinking and judgment skills can enhance both their logical thinking skills and their skills in thinking, questioning and choosing effective and practical methods on different strategies accordingly.
