How to create a concept map.
What is a concept map?
A concept map is a visual way to organize thoughts and make connections between ideas.
How can I use a concept map?
You can use a concept map to brainstorm and organize ideas, create an outline for an assignment, or test your knowledge and review for exams.
How do I make a concept map? By following these seven steps:
Step 1: Start by identifying the main topic, and brainstorm everything you know about it. Use all relevant content from lectures, texts, and other course material.
Step 2: Organize your information into main points.
Step 3: Start creating your map: Begin with your main topic, then branch out to major points and supporting details.
Step 4: Review your map and look for more connections. Use arrows, symbols, and colours to show relationships between ideas.
Step 5: Include details: definitions, equations, and diagrams are all useful.
Step 6: Analyze and improve your map. Ask yourself: How do the ideas fit together? Have you made all necessary connections? Is the map accurate, logical and detailed?
Step 7: As you learn more, update your concept map to reflect your better understanding. Try talking out loud about your concept map. Ask yourself: Can I describe the connections between these ideas?
Following these seven simple steps will allow you to create a concept map to help you study.

Thank you for this video even though I wish I didn't have to make this concept map

using Concept Map because of two reasons: 1. for research or to find a solution to a problem; this is the discovery period, looking for answers to problems or difficulties. The concept map would look messy, because that's how our mind works, it gathers info, sorts them, connects them till it finds the unifying concept which organizes the rest. 2. After discovering the solution or answer, and organizing the concepts logically then one proceeds to the next level of concept Map, that is, to present it neatly. The video is on the second state, for presentation purpose of the Concept map.

Thank you for your video. It is very helpful. Maybe most people are looking for a read map they can copy from it, and then thinking your video is not helpful, but what you are doing is showing the step by step on how to produce one. Good work.

Thanks for the lyrics, I love your videos! Never stop making them! I was about to step off the stool and finally end my life by hanging myself when I saw this upload pop up in my subscription feed. I stepped down and clicked play and all of a sudden my depression was cured. I owe you my life. I grew up to be Mark Zuckerberg the creator of youtube. Like if you cryed.

[inaolajisunday]

can we use concept mapping to explain calculation

[TheSpeedyPotato]

This doesn’t help at all.. If you already know all of the information to create a concept map then most of the time you will do fine on the assignment or test anyway...
