INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING SYMMETRY2.MYW


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


2.  The file SYMMETRY2.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 can be used by individual pupils or pairs of pupils working together at the computer (perhaps while other groups in the class are doing other sorts of rotational symmetry activities without a computer).  As well as developing their understanding of rotational symmetry it also provides an opportunity to develop simple mouse skills.  Pupils' completed screens can be saved or printed in the usual way.


6.  The procedures can also be used by the teacher with the whole class gathered around the computer.  Use the screen to give demonstrations and generate discussions when teaching rotational symmetry.



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