1. Determine the theme: First, define the theme of your mind map, such as "addition and subtraction" and "fraction".
2. Write down the theme: Write down the theme in the center of the map and frame it with a big circle or square to indicate that this is the center of the map.
3. Add branches: connect several lines from the central circle or square, and each line represents a branch. Depending on the content of the topic, each branch can be marked as a sub-topic, such as "addition" and "subtraction".
4. Refine branches: connect smaller branches under each sub-topic to express the specific content of this sub-topic, such as vertical addition and carry addition.
5. Add keywords: write down one or more keywords at the end of each branch to indicate the core idea or operation method of this branch.
6. Organize the map: Finally, typeset and organize the whole mind map to make it look clearer and easier to read.
Mind mapping uses the skills of paying equal attention to graphics and texts, showing the relationship between topics at all levels with hierarchical diagrams of mutual subordination and correlation, and establishing memory links between topic keywords, images and colors.
Mind mapping makes full use of the functions of the left and right brain and the laws of memory, reading and thinking to help people develop in a balanced way between science and art, logic and imagination, thus opening up the infinite potential of the human brain. Therefore, mind mapping has a powerful function of human thinking.
Mind mapping is a visual way of thinking. We know that radioactive thinking is the natural way of thinking of the human brain. Every kind of information that enters the brain, whether it is feelings, memories or ideas, includes words, numbers, symbols, aroma, food, lines, colors, images, rhythms, notes and so on.
It can be a thinking center, where thousands of joints radiate outward. Mind map, also known as brain map, mental map, brainstorming map, inspiration trigger map, concept map, tree map, branch map or thinking map, is a tool for thinking in images and an auxiliary tool for thinking in images.
