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
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
WHY YOU SHOULD REVISE
Your short term memory can only hold 7 bits of information at a time- revision 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!
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.
Mind Map :
Recall Strategy
Mind maps
are tools
which help
you think
and learn.
Mind Mapping
trains your
mind for more
efficient
retention and
recall.
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.
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.
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

How To Mind Map (1 of 4)
1. Take a blank piece of paper, A4 or larger ◦ Pre-drawn lines can restrict us!
2. Use the paper in landscape orientation .
3. Start in the center
4. 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

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

6. Start to add a second level of thought which are linked to the main branch that triggered them ◦ Connecting lines are thinner
◦ Words are still printed but may be in lower case
7. 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

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