Learning Map- Solving Systems of Complex Inequalities

Above I have included my learning map that tackles a difficult mathematical concept that I will be covering in my class in the next few weeks, "Solving Systems of Complex Inequalities".  This mathematical concept requires a multi-faceted solution process, and a learning map helps to keep all steps and skills organized for the learner.  Providing this learning map to the students will help them to better understand the logical process required to solve such problems, and the skills they must master in order to be successful.

Although we were provided the resources to use ExamTime, I chose to use Inspiration.  Inspiration is another version of concept map building software that I have used previously.  You can obtain a free 30-day trial, or pay for a subscription at http://www.inspiration.com/. One of the main reasons I stuck with Inspiration is that it was easy to link more than one concept to the same "node".  This was a task I was not able to accomplish using ExamTime, so it seemed more appropriate given how this concept is organized.  I also enjoyed including some more of the intricate design details that Inspiration provides.
