How to use this map

Guidelines for Mind Map
A simple workflow for teaching, dictation, and revision.
Guidelines
  • Start from the chapter node and teach downward: definition → تقسيم → conditions → examples.
  • Use the same dictation order each lesson so students form a stable notebook structure.
  • Don’t expand everything at once—open only the branch you are currently teaching.
  • Mark confusion points (e.g., similar rules, exceptions) and revisit them during weekly review.
  • Revision method: ask students to rebuild a branch from memory, then verify with the map.
  • Terminology discipline: keep one label for each concept (avoid switching terms mid-course).
