Solve Miscellaneous Mathematical Problems using Mind Map

How to be a good problem solver is one of the main objectives in learning of mathematics. But it is very difficult to achieve. Someone with a good mastery of mathematical concepts, not necessarily to be good problem solvers. There are many things that must be done to achieve that goal. On the other hand, mathematical problems also vary from low to high difficulty level, there is even a mathematical problem that is miscellaneous. Therefore, sought a way to instill the concept of problem solving strategies more interesting and simultaneously to solve mathematical problems which more complex and non-routine. Mind map as a verbal visualization techniques into an image that can represent the journey of memory and provide convenience in arranging the facts and of the ideas can be used as an alternative way to understand and resolve the mathematical problems. In this paper will study about the use of mind mapping in instilling the concept of problem-solving and the use of mind mapping to improve problem solving ability in solving miscellaneous mathematical problems.
