A MindMap is a visual representation that uses images, words, and concepts arranged radially around a central concept or idea. It utilizes both sides of the brain and allows for free-flowing thinking. MindMaps can be created individually or collaboratively and are useful for note-taking, planning, brainstorming, and other tasks that require clear thinking and organization of ideas.

MindMaps

What is a MindMap?
A MindMap is a visual form of note-making
that can be done either individually or as part
of a group. At its heart is a central image or
idea.
A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique
which provides a universal key to unlock the
potential of the brain
What is a MindMap?
The Mind Map can be applied to every aspect
of life where improved learning and clearer
thinking will enhance your productivity
It harnesses the full range of cortical skills
word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour
and spatial awareness in a single, uniquely
powerful manner. In so doing, it gives you the
freedom to capture the infinite power and
creativity of your brain.
Creating a MindMap
a) The subject of attention is crystallised in a central
image
b) The main themes of the subject radiate from the
central image on branches
c) Branches hold a key image / word printed on the
associated line - details radiate out
d) The branches form a connected nodal structure.
MindMap Guidelines

A Mind Map is open to free


interpretation by each individual.
MindMap Guidelines

Start in the centre with an image of


the topic, using at least three
colours.
MindMap Guidelines

Use images, symbols, codes and


dimensions throughout the Mind
Map.
MindMap Guidelines

Select key words and print using


upper or lower case letters.
MindMap Guidelines

Each word/image must be alone


and sitting on its own line.
MindMap Guidelines

The lines must be connected,


starting from the central image.
The central lines are thicker,
organic and flowing, becoming
thinner as they radiate out from
the centre.
MindMap Guidelines

Make the lines the same length


as the word/image.
MindMap Guidelines

Use colours your own code


throughout the Mind Map.
MindMap Guidelines

Develop your own personal style


of Mind Mapping.
MindMap Guidelines

Use emphasis and show


associations in your Mind Map.
MindMap Guidelines

Keep the Mind Map clear by


using Radiant hierarchy,
numerical order or outlines to
embrace your branches.
Benefits of MindMaps

Just as the branches are all connected, so


all the ideas are all related to each other,
this gives MindMaps an additional depth
that a simple list can never achieve. By
working from the centre outwards, a
MindMap encourages learners thoughts
to grow outwards. Soon the learners
ideas will expand and radiate creative
thinking.
Benefits of MindMaps

MindMaps are an effective thinking tool


because they work with the brain and
encourage it to develop associations
between ideas: each branch of the
MindMap is associated with the previous
branch. This is a visual map which
complements how the brain works and
can lead to significant results.
