A concept map is a type of graphic organizer used to help
students organize and represent knowledge of a subject. Concept maps begin with a main
idea (or concept) and then
branch out to show how that main idea can be broken down into specific topics.
In a concept map, each word or
phrase connects to another, and links back to the original idea, word, or
phrase. Concept maps are a way to develop logical thinking and study skills by
revealing connections and helping students see how individual ideas form a
larger whole.
