Our daughter recently graduated in Elementary Education and was teaching an after school remedial math class. My husband remembered this film and thought it might be a way to show the kids how we use math in our everyday lives. They loved it!
My son has another VHS and he likes it so much, he had worn it out, so we decided to buy him another one. We were unable to find it in the stores. So we searched e-bay and most of them were very expensive. It is based on why math is important utilizing Donald Duck and this seems to attract very young children. It tells them how math is found in everyday life. I just wished they made this in DVD.
Math revealed in nature. An exciting view of math presented in a fun and easy to follow manner. If it's not, this should be presented to all levels of math students.
Donald in Mathmagic Land rocks! If you love math, music or nature, buy it! If you have youngsters, buy it. If you are a trivia buff, buy it. I'm glad I did. I first saw this movie 25 years ago with my little girl and have never forgotten it. We still love watching it. Great animation, narration, music and content! We laugh as Donald bumbles about unraveling MATH throughout history. He explores fascinating mathematical relationships hidden all around him in music, art, architecture, plants, seashells...and billiards.
One video/DVD that belongs in every classroom in America, kindergarten to college.
This movie is a childhood classic. I enjoyed watching it when I was little. As a child I was entertained without realizing I was beginning educated. I wanted to share this with my children. It is also a helpful math teaching tool.

The item did not arrive in a timely manner and the seller did not respond to repeated e-mails. I had to file a complaint with ebay. The seller miraculously decided to respond to me e-mails and finally sent the item.
As a former teacher I showed the 16 mm film version to several of my classes. Lately, with all the concern about creation and proving Christianity to be true, I find it one of the best apologetic arguments for the fact that God did have a design in creation.
This is an amazing video in learning fun! I've never found a child's video that compares to this one or makes learning so much fun! This is entertaining for both children and adults, and opens up a whole new world in math. It is just exceptional!
