1. Prepare tools and materials: paper, pencils, colored pens or colored highlighters, etc.
2. Mark the theme: Write the theme at the top or center of the paper, that is, "Unit 5, Book 1, Grade Four Mathematics".
3. Draw the trunk: Draw a straight line or curve from the center of the theme as the trunk to represent the core content of the unit.
4. Add branches: Draw lines from both sides or above the trunk to form branches. Each branch represents a different part or concept of the unit.
5. Marking branch titles: write down the corresponding branch titles at the beginning of each branch to represent the specific content in the unit.
6. Improve the mind map: continue to add branches and mark titles until all the knowledge points that need to be emphasized are covered. You can use colors and graphics appropriately to enhance the visual effect of mind maps.
7. Check and modify: Finally, carefully check the mind map to ensure that there are no mistakes and omissions. Necessary modifications or supplements can be made to make the mind map more in line with the individual's learning style and goals.
The role of mind mapping
The function of divergent thinking in mind map is to help us to diverge and organize our thinking, and we can keep the flexible form of editing and organization at any time. Through mind mapping, we can visualize our thoughts and ideas, and we can modify and organize them at any time. It can also stimulate our right brain and enhance our memory by using color, shape and imagination when creating maps.
By stimulating people's rich associative power, mind map can show philosophical thinking modes without obstacles, including continuity, profundity, criticism, divergence, associative thinking, analogical thinking, image thinking, inspirational thinking and dialectical thinking.
