They are diagrams which show the way in which different ideas relate to each other. They are a great help to revision. They help you to organize your ideas and also to find out what are the bits you don't really understand.
Here I will show examples of concept maps, so that you get the idea and start to construct your own maps. This way, you can find out how much you understand of each topic, and then ask questions if necessary.
