How can mind maps be used for solving math problems? We will start with two principal uses: - Using mind maps to examine a given problem. - Using mind maps to organize problem solving tools. These two uses may even be combined, leading to the use of two mindmaps at a time: - a "problem map" for dealing with the problem itself and - a "tool map" (or several of them) containing problem solving tools - from general ones (e.g. the ones presented in Polya's "How to Solve It” Mind Map from http://www.scribd.com/doc/49120795/Mind-Maps-and-Math-Problem-Solving
