INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PENTOMINOES.MYW


1.  If you are reading this using Windows Notepad, make sure you have activated Word Wrap (from the Edit menu).


2.  The file PENTOMINOES.MYW requires My World version 3.  If you haven't got this then you are missing out on a excellent package which can be used right across the primary curriculum.  
    You can find further details at

3.  Download or copy the file to the location where you keep all of your My World screens and then load the screen in the same way that you load others that you use (there are several different ways of loading My World screens; see the My World Help facility for further details).


4.  The screen is designed to run with a screen resolution of 800x600 or higher.  If you are only using 640x480 then you will have to do a lot of scrolling left/right and up/down.
    Like all My World screens, it can be made to fill the whole screen (CTRL-F to toggle this on and off) but things are slower and not so smooth in full-screen mode.


5.  The screen provides an open-ended investigative activity that can be tackled by individual pupils or pairs of pupils working together at the computer, perhaps while other groups in the class are doing the same activity but without a computer.  You might deliberately choose to let pupils with special educational needs use the computer while the rest of the class rely on drawing skills.  If you have got access to a computer suite then the whole class can do pentominoes using this My World screen.



I hope you find this My World screen useful.
Let me know how you get on.
