Great movie but a little hard to hear even with the volume all the way up. |

A classic. This video playfully engages children in the ideas of basic mathematics. |

Available on Disney "educational" DVD |
Saw this on a worn VHS some years ago, and have been looking for a copy ever since. The other reviews pretty much say why. :-)
I'm happy to report that Disney is now selling it on both DVD and VHS, albeit in pricey "teachers" editions. Afraid Marketadvisory doesn't permit inclusion of links in reviews, but a quick google on Mathmagic Land should reveal the disney-go-com pages of interest.
Just ordered a copy over the phone -- for some odd reason they don't offer online ordering. However they also didn't have any problem with the fact that I'm not a teacher, and the phone call is free.
Not sure what their normal shipping times are -- the phone rep estimated a week or two for delivery. This might make somebody a great holiday gift. |

Duh! Vinci Code |
Thirty five years ago when I used to thread the 16mm version through a projector in my 4th grade classroom, I, and my students, thought it was the most entertaing, fascinating film we ever saw. After I stopped teaching, I searched for it for years, just wanting to have it in my collection. I finally found it used, on Marketadvisory, watched it once just to bring back the memories, then put it on my shelf. Then I read The da Vinci Code. I couldn't believe it! All the reference to the golden rectangle, golden ratio, proportions of the pentagram, the Pythagorean Society, and even Disney himself! And to think I was teaching all that to my 9 year olds in the 60's before Dan Brown was even born! A fun video for any math lover.
