concept-maps

This repository provides visual concept maps for teaching introductory data science topics in R. Each concept map breaks down a specific topic—like dplyr functions, data types, pivoting, R Markdown, or regular expressions—into connected concepts that show how ideas relate to each other.

These maps serve three purposes: they help instructors plan lessons and identify what to teach, give other educators a quick overview of lesson structure, and help learners verify they’ve built correct mental models. The collection includes maps for core tidyverse operations, data manipulation techniques, and foundational programming concepts, with some available in multiple languages. All maps use a consistent visual style and are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution license.
