2. What is a Concept Map?
Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and
representing knowledge. They include concepts, usually
enclosed in circles or boxes of some type, and
relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting
line linking two concepts.
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

3. Need for Concept Mapping
1.To understand the theories and concepts related to the topic.
2. To manage concepts into sub concepts for each group and
category.
3. To understand the relationship of each concept, how they are
related to each other.
4. To synthesize information, ideas and concepts, and see the
whole picture.
5. To encourage creativity (particularly brain-storming) and
develop higher-level thinking skills and strategies.

4. Forms of Concept maps:
Spider: Organized by placing the central theme
or unifying factor in the center of the map.
Outwardly radiating sub-themes surround the
center of the map.
• Hierarchical: Presents information in a
descending order of importance. The most
important information is placed on the top.
Distinguishing factors determine the placement of
the information.
• Flowchart: Organizes information in a linear
format
. • Systems: Organizes information in a format
which is similar to a flowchart with the addition
of 'INPUTS' and 'OUTPUTS'.
