WHAT IS A MIND MAP?
Mind map is a diagram in which information is represented visually, usually with a central idea placed in the middle and associated ideas arranged around it (Wikipedia contributors, 2024).
EXAMPLES
A mind map is a visual way to organize ideas and information. It's like a big, colourful diagram that helps you see how different ideas connect. At the center of the mind map, you put the main idea or topic. From there, you draw branches to show different categories or parts of that topic. Each branch can have smaller branches with more details. You can add pictures, colours and symbols to make it more fun and easier to remember. You can use digital tools like Canva to create your mind map on a computer, making it simple to add and change ideas as you go.
