Brainstorming with Math
Hello everyone! Today I want to share a great way to study for math I just discovered. This tool saved my life for my midterm. It’s very interactive and allows the creative mind to express itself. It also is such a great way to connect all the material you've learned. So here's the secret...a mind map! You might be wondering what this is? It is essentially a brainstorming web that students most often use for writing but, I found it so helpful for math thanks to my instructor.
We created our mind maps to organize the different types of data and graphs that we learned throughout the semester. The mind map was so helpful to relate what type of graph to use for what type of data. It gave me a chance to make the connections, while writing it all down and helped me remember everything I needed to know. I think it is so important to incorporate various types of learning styles in your classroom for each individual. A mind map allows creative students to branch out and see how they think all the material relates because of the many ways you could've set up your mind map. Take a look at mine below and start exploring how helpful creating mind maps can be with this link! :)

Katelyn,
ReplyDeleteWow, I love your blog so much, it is so pretty and well written. Mind maps definitely helped me as well with studying. I had no idea it could be used in math before our class! Your mind map looks really good and I love that you added the light bulbs because they add a pop of color and organization. You are so right about this tool helping creative students to study. Great blog!

Katelyn, I love all the effort you put into all your blog posts! I thought this mind map was an excellent tool. It definitely made it easier to study for the midterm. I can't wait to have my students make one. Your mind map looks awesome and I used the same categories of numerical and categorical when I made mine. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog! The format that you set up is super nice and appealing. I didn't even think to do a post with the mind map as a blog post. I like how you talked about the mind map being able to help all types of learning. I also really like your mind map and how you used light bulbs for the main ideas of it. Good job!
