1. Prepare a blank drawing paper and a colored pencil.
2. Write "Unit 6" in the center of the drawing paper, and then draw a big square as the theme.
3. Starting from the four corners of the square, draw four line segments, each pointing to an angle. At the end of the line segment, draw a small square to represent the Unit 6.
4. Draw a slightly smaller rectangle inside the square to represent the sub-theme of "rectangle". Inside the rectangle, you can draw a smaller square, which represents an area unit of the rectangle. On both sides of the rectangle, you can draw a slightly smaller rectangle to represent the width and height of the rectangle.
5. Draw a circle under the square to represent the sub-theme of "circle". Within the circle, you can draw a smaller circle, which represents the area unit of the circle. Above and below the circle, you can draw two slightly smaller circles, representing the radius of the circle respectively.
6. Under the rectangle, you can draw a diamond to represent the sub-theme of "diamond". Inside the diamond, you can draw a smaller diamond, which represents an area unit of the diamond. On both sides of the diamond, you can draw a slightly smaller diamond, representing the two diagonal lines of the diamond.
7. Between the circle and the diamond, you can draw a rectangle to represent the sub-theme of "rectangle". Inside the rectangle, you can draw a smaller rectangle, which represents an area unit of the rectangle. On both sides of the rectangle, you can draw a slightly smaller rectangle, representing the length and width of the rectangle.
8. Finally, paint icons with different colors or shapes for each theme and sub-theme with colored pencils, and write down corresponding keywords or key concepts beside them.
Characteristics of mind mapping
Mind mapping is an effective tool because of its rigorous logic and deep memory, which can help us sort out and understand information and improve the memory effect. Through the guidance of logic, we can sort out scattered information, form a logical and orderly picture, and deepen our understanding of information.
At the same time, the mind map is also organized, which can be expanded in chronological order according to the theme, helping us to form a clear branch and knowledge system. Through mind mapping, we can organize a lot of information and form a memory framework, which is easier to understand and remember.
Mind mapping is expressed in the form of branches, each branch revolves around the central theme, and the expansion and divergence of branches echo each other. This divergent way of thinking allows us to look at problems from a broader perspective and avoid the shackles of fixed thinking. Through divergent thinking, we can think about the problem from multiple angles and find a more comprehensive solution.
