1, a blank sheet of paper.
A4 paper will do, and a bigger size will do. Don't draw lines on the paper. White paper is best.
2. A pair of colored pens
Whether it's a watercolor pen or a colored pen, you can use whatever you want.
Gouache watercolor and the like, it feels a bit too tall to control.
Even, you can start hand-drawing mind maps, instead of colored markers, just use black pens.
First, determine the basic structure of mind map.
1, first draw the central theme in the middle of a piece of white paper. In fact, the first step in drawing a mind map is to determine the central theme and draw it in the middle of a blank sheet of paper. The reason why you want to draw a central theme in the middle of a blank sheet of paper is because it is conducive to the divergence of children's thinking.
2. Further expand the branch of mind mapping. What children need to do next is to further expand the branches of mind mapping. It should be noted that when children expand the branches of mind map, they should expand outward from the central theme. In addition, children can also imagine that the branches of a tree are constantly expanding, and the branches closer to the central theme are thicker.
Second, supplement and improve.
1, express the contents of each branch graphically. After the basic structure of mind map is completed, children need to supplement it. When making supplements and improvements, children can use graphics to express the contents of each branch, which will be more vivid and give full play to their creativity.
2. Add appropriate keywords for each branch. In addition, each branch should add appropriate keywords, which is conducive to memory and understanding.

Since 1980s, mind mapping has been introduced into Chinese mainland. Initially, it was used to help "students with learning difficulties" overcome learning obstacles, and later it was mainly used by the industrial and commercial circles (especially in the field of enterprise training) to improve the learning efficiency and innovative thinking ability of individuals and organizations. In subject teaching, after 52 years of development, it has not been widely used in schools.
After fifteen years of research and practice, the thinking visualization research team led by Liu Zhuoyuan of East China Normal University has come to the conclusion that "mind map" is not suitable for direct application in subject teaching, because it places too much emphasis on "image memory" and "free divergent association" instead of "understanding memory" and "structured thinking".
For students with poor abstract thinking ability, "image memory" can really help students improve the efficiency of "memorizing knowledge", but it can't deepen students' understanding of knowledge, which belongs to a shallow learning.
