Flying Photographer Game - Flexible Version
If you enjoy using Flying Photographer for decimals, you can use this more flexible version for teaching about whole numbers or about negative numbers as well.
Instructions
1. Copy the Flying Photographer – Flexible folder to your computer. This can be found in Decimal Games folder on the CD and is titled, "FLYPHOflexible". To locate the folder, go to "My Computer and then right click on the CD icon and then open.
2. Close all programs and in the "FLYPHOflexible" folder, open the file "setup" to install the program.
3. Flying Photographer can then be played (go to: Start --- All Programs---Flying Photographer). Along with the installed program files there are information files for the teacher.
4. To change the game, go to "Teacher” from the initial screen.
5. Use password "dog" (just 3 letters, lowercase)
6. You can change the settings of the program (e.g. aeroplane speed).
7. You can also change the type of numbers, by selecting "DECIMALS.txt" (default), "whole numbers.txt" (which gives whole number endpoints and targets) or "negative decimals.txt" (which gives negative endpoints and negative decimal targets).
8. You can open and edit these files to have the endpoints and targets that are best for your students. Save the changes and run as before.
9. Enjoy!
10. This program works with a standard windows setup. The authors cannot provide assistance if it does not run. Sorry.
