I used this video in my 6th grade classroom. The kids enjoyed watching it and were extremely animated when we discussed the video. They began to realize how math is everywhere.

I use this in my high school Geometry class. It is a great compliment and introduction to the Golden Ratio. The billiards scene fascinates the class (especially the boys). This film ties in nicely the strong relationship between Math (Geometry) and Nature. All ages will enjoy this short 30 minute (Approx) film.

I saw this feature as a kid, and remembered it so well that friends and family went to some length, at different times, to locate both the (English) comic-book version, and eventually the video. My kids have all seen the video, it seems to appeal especially to the late pre-teen crowd. Even at my "advanced" age (according to said children), I still find this a delight.

DD in Mathmagic Land is very efficient in motivating and inspirig young students and high school students (even adults)in their mathematical education. It shows beautifully the fact that mathematics is almost ubiquitous (omnipresent?) and no mathematical concept is degraded or distorted in order to make them easy to understand. Theese days I am looking for a copy of DD in Mathmagic Land in DVD with subtitles in Spanish. Victor M. Bujan, San Jose, Costa Rica, Central America.

This is by far the best video every made.

I was introduced to this video in college by my math professor. I think that speaks volumes. I wish it were available for purchase in the stores. It is extremely difficult to locate.

Excellent movie to show to all grade levels. It had something for everyone and very accurate in the telling.

Clearly one of the classical mathematical greats. Too bad it is so hard to find.

I love this film! Agreed that it's one of the best ever made. This was what got me interested in mathematics in the first place!

I had a copy of the comic (in English) in the early sixties. It is somewhat different from the video (also good) and I think it was published by Dell from USA and the storyline seemed more developed (as I recall). I'd love to get hold of another copy. I remember Donald Duck saying 'Pi? Trot it out, any flavor will do!' Best wishes, Al.

This concise, fun, interesting, brilliant film is a MUST see! I intend to recommend this film to everyone I know. It makes math approachable for children which is seemingly a major accomplishment.

I USED THIS IN MY SECOND GRADE YEAR AFTER YEAR....IT HELD ATTENTION OF 7-8 YEAR OLDS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GRASP THE SOME OF THE CONCEPTS...SAME COPY WAS SHOWN YEARS LATER, TO SAME CHILDREN NOW IN 6,7, AND 8TH..GRADES..SOME ACTUALLY REMEMBERED IT AND ALL ENJOYED IT...

I have owned (and shown) this video to my math classes for years. I created a companion "quiz" for it, and allow students to take the quiz as they watch the video a second time (within a week of the first viewing). They are allowed to answer as many questions from memory as possible, earning extra points for those, before the second showing begins.

Of course, now we see that this great film is all over YouTube, so is accessible to those who have never been able to purchase the DVD.

I coined a word about three years ago called 'Lumeracy'., I defined the word as "to represent being educated with knowledge to read, write and use numeracy, manage information, express ideas and opinions, communicate in an ethical manner, make decisions and solve problems." This material falls into this category along with many available, one has to look for them. I have presented papers on this and will be happy to share with those interested.
