Charts and tables

Arranging information in tables is a great way of making sense of lots of complex data. And you'd be surprised at how often you can create useful tables. Here are some examples:

Maths:
1. Solving equations. You can list the different types of equation and the different techniques for solving them.
2. Shapes and their characteristics such as angle properties, areas, symmetry, etc.

Chemistry:
1. Metals - comparing their chemical and physical properties and methods of extraction.
2. Types of rock, their characteristics and formation.

Biology:
1. Characteristics of different genetic diseases
2. Parts of the digestive / circulatory systems.

Physics:
1. Forces; their definitions and the formulas that involve them.
2. Comparing the two main types of circuit.

Foreign Languages:
Verb tenses.

When creating mind maps, summarise data in tables wherever possible. They don't have to be large.
