Flow Map

This document provides information about flow maps, which are a type of thinking map used to organize sequences of events. Flow maps show how events are related and can include substages to provide more details. They are used to depict processes, cycles, and sequences of events. The document explains how to create a flow map by writing the main event at the top and listing the stages chronologically from left to right with arrows showing the flow. Substages can be added below major stages for additional details. Sample questions are provided that could be answered using a flow map, such as daily routines or the sequence of a family trip.

relationships. The substages would include actions that
happened within each segment of the event being described.

straight line. The water cycle or rock cycle is often


represented in a circular flow map.

How to create this map:


1. Write the name of the event at the top of your work
space.
2. The main stages of the events should be listed
chronologically in rectangles moving from left to right
across the paper.
3. Draw an arrow from the first box to the next box to
show the flow of events.
4. After reaching the end of first row, you may continue
to the next row to add additional rectangles.
5. If more details about each stage are necessary, you
may add smaller rectangles with substages under the
major stage.

suggestions.

Here are examples of flow maps from classrooms.

Sample questions you could ask at home:


What is your after school/work routine look
like? (or a morning routine to get ready for
work)
What do you do to get ready for dinner?
What does your schedule look like on a typical
day of the week? (Select one day)
In what order did the events of a family trip
happen?

Select one of the questions to the


left or come up with your own idea
of how your child or your family
could use this Flow map.
