A mind map is a diagram that is used to represent a topic area in any subject. It is a flowing way to organise a topic area in a more exciting and interesting way, linking it all together to a central topic or keyword. The important things that should be considered when completing a mind map are that it should be bold, colourful and not too much information included on it (try to condense some information). A mind map is very versatile and can be used for all subjects.

Large Scale Mind Maps
Create a mind map over the whole of your desk or on the bedroom floor, particularly if you are a kinesthetic learner

3D Mind Maps
Create a mind map that is 3D like a mobile that can hang from your ceiling.
