Frequently asked questions
How do I study fractions and decimals with a mind map?
Start with the main branches, such as equivalent fractions and converting between fractions and decimals, and add the rules under each one. Then cover the branch labels and try to rebuild them from memory.
Why does converting a fraction to a decimal work the way it does?
You divide the numerator by the denominator, so 3/4 becomes 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Fractions with repeating decimals, like 1/3, never terminate.
Can I export the mind map quiz?
Exports are part of the paid plans: Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
