4. What is Mind Map


A Mind Map is a visual form of
note-making that can be done
either individually or as part of
a group.
A mind map is a diagram used
to represent themes of
understanding linked a central
key word or idea

5. What is Mind Map

A Mind Map is a powerful graphic
technique which provides a universal
key to unlock the potential of the
brain

The Mind Map can be applied to every
aspect of life where improved learning
and clearer thinking will enhance your
productivity

6. WHY YOU SHOULD REVISE
Your short term memory can only
hold 7 bits of information at a timerevision helps reinforce your learning
to help you prepare for your exams.

Within 30 days, we only remember
20% of the information learnt

Without revision you will have
wasted 2 years of your entire life!

7. The need for Mind Mapping

Unless you train your memory it is
likely to get worse over time, not
better.

Retention is the art of storing new
information or skills.

Recall is the art of retrieving it
when you need it.

8. Mind Map :
Recall Strategy
Mind Mapping
trains your
mind for more
efficient
retention and
recall.
Mind maps
are tools
which help
you think
and learn.

9. Understanding Vs. Remembering
 Understanding something is not sufficient
to remember it.
 Mental associations are also necessary
for recall.
 Mind Mapping reinforces understanding
and gives a visual framework for
organizing ideas and making associations.

10. Compact notes improve recall
o Learning without note taking forces you
to go back and review from scratch.
o Taking extensive notes provides too
much information and too few memory
cues.
o Mind Maps store everything you need on
one page, and encode the information in
memory-rich nuggets for easy recall.

11. Benefits of Mind Maps
• More friendly brain .
• The brain is capable of processing
hundreds of images a second.
• The organisation reflects how the brain
remembers, linking facts/memories
• Easy to review
• The process of creating a mind map
deepens learning

14. How To Mind Map (1 of 4)
1.
Take a blank piece of paper, A4 or larger
◦ Pre-drawn lines can restrict us!
2.
3.
4.
Use the paper in landscape orientation .
Start in the center
Make a central image that represents the
topic about which you are writing/thinking
 Use at least three colours
 Keep the height and width of the central image to
about two inches
 Allow the image to create its own shape
14

15. How To Mind Map (2 of 4)
5.
The main themes (Basic Ordering Ideas)
around the central image are like the
chapter headings of a book
◦
◦
◦
◦
Print this word in CAPITALS or draw an
image
Place on a line of the same length connected
to the central image
The central lines are thick,
curved and organic - like the
trunk of a tree
Usually about 3 – 7 themes
15

16. How To Mind Map (3 of 4)
6.
Start to add a second level of thought
which are linked to the main branch that
triggered them
◦
◦
7.
Connecting lines are thinner
Words are still printed but may be in lower case
Add third, fourth, … levels of data as
thoughts come to you
◦
◦
Use images as much as possible
Jump around the map as different thoughts come
to you
16

17. How To Mind Map (4 of 4)
8.
Add emphasis to important points on the
map
◦
9.
Outline whole branches of the map as you
see fit
◦
◦
10.
11.
Maybe put a box around a point
Try using colours here
The colours can be used to show connections
between branches
Make your maps a little more beautiful,
artistic, colourful, or imaginative
Be humorous and have some fun!

18. Key features of mind maps
The process starts around a central idea or
picture
 Key themes are established through
branches with sub branches
 Key terminology is used
 Single words or phrases
 Themes are connected through colours
 Images reinforce meaning
 It allows you to freely associate and link
ideas
