half-dozenroses Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Does anyone teach your children mind mapping as a way to outline/study from a text? I did a search on the topic but did not come up with much. My 12yodd will be starting Apologia General Science and I was thinking that mind mapping the concepts as she studies will help reinforce topics. Anyone who uses mind mapping have any resources to share? I am thinking it is basically cluster diagrams but there may be a lot more to it. Also - anyone read or had their children read How to Study by Ron Fry? Edited August 6, 2010 by half-dozenroses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieF Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I bought this for ds http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Maps-Kids-Tony-Buzan/dp/0007151330/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281121036&sr=8-2 and he has used it a lot for both projects and revision for tests/exams. There is also software based on the book which ds downloaded for a trial and loved Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half-dozenroses Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Stephanie - I saw that book - mind me asking how old your son is? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieF Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think he was 12 when I bought it, he is 13 1/2 now and does use it a lot. I borrowed it from the library first, perhaps that is an option. Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathkath Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 another term to google is graphic organizer. You'll come up with mind-map sorts of things but not called that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
