Determine the theme: first, make clear the theme of this mind map, which is the content of the first unit of mathematics. This topic can be an overview of the first unit of mathematics, or it can be a more specific topic, such as integer, decimal and fraction.
Central concept: at the center of the mind map, write down the theme or central concept. If you choose "Overview of the first unit of mathematics" as the theme, you can write this topic in the middle.
Branch structure: Starting from the central theme, branches extend in all directions. Each branch can represent a sub-topic or a specific concept. For example, a branch can be an integer, a branch can be a decimal and a branch can be a fraction.
Add details: under each branch, continue to expand and add more branches to express related sub-concepts or specific content. For example, under the "integer" branch, you can add "positive integer" and "negative integer" sub-branches, and then add more details under these sub-branches.
Use graphics and colors: When making mind maps, you can use different graphics and colors to highlight key points or express different types of information. For example, you can use rectangular boxes to represent topics and sub-topics, arrows to connect branches, and colors to distinguish different concepts.
Keywords and tags: on each branch and sub-branch, use concise keywords or tags to summarize the content of this part. This helps to quickly understand the main points of mind mapping.
Summary and review: In the process of making mind maps, you can constantly review and summarize the added information to ensure clear information structure and strict logic.
Practice and application: making mind maps is only part of it. Students should also consolidate their knowledge of mathematics through exercises, examples and practical applications.
