Mind Mapping
• A mind map is a diagram used to represent ideas or
information branching from a central key word or idea and used
as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision-
making, and writing.
• Mind maps are useful visual tools that help in linking together
concepts and information in such a way that the interconnection
and interrelation of these are clearly laid out and easily
accessible to help in problems solving and for reference and
review.
Five essential characteristics of mind
mapping:
• The center image represents the main idea, subject, or focus.
• The main branches radiate from the central image.
• The branches comprise a key image or word drawn or printed on its
line.
• Twigs represent the lesser topics.
• The branches form a connected nodal structure.
Using Mind Maps Effectively
• Use Single Words or Simple Phrases – in mind maps, single, strong
words, and short meaningful phrases can convey the same meaning more
potently.
• Print Words – joined up or indistinct writing is more difficult to read.
• Use Color to Separate Different Ideas – color can help to show the
organization of the subject.
• Use Symbols and Images – pictures can help you to remember
information.
• Use Cross-Linkages – information in one part of a mind map may relate
to another part.
