Bridge Maps
So today in class, we learned about thinking maps that can be implemented in any grade, any subject. These thinking maps are so cool and can be great visuals to teach a wide variety of topics. Below are some examples of thinking maps that are commonly used (I found this on Pinterest. They have so many great examples!!)
The one I wanted to focus on the most was the bridge maps because for me personally, it's the hardest to understand.
Some examples for bridge maps include:
You can use these for language (picture 1), reading (picture 2), and math (picture 3). I am such a visual learner, so seeing these even now, would help me understand certain concepts better. Charts are fun and useful for the classroom because you can create them as a group and leave hanging up in the classroom for future reference. I love visuals so I will be using PLENTY of visuals in my classroom.
Thinking maps are ways to look at information differently. This different view allows students to get different perspectives that gives them better insight, more clarity, peace of mind, understanding. I’m a visual learner also. Thinking maps are most definitely helpful when I need to understand something.
