I spent the evening tonight going over great math videos with my wife and daughter. We looked at the most recent videos from Vi Hart, and I was happy to introduce to the both of them the "Powers of Ten" video by Charles & Ray Eames - somehow, I was lucky enough to have been introduced to this video while I was in nursery school. I just recently realized how influential this video has been during my whole life.
Donald in Mathmagic Land was one of my favorites for sure. Surprised to see it was made in 1959 though. I didn't think it was that old (For reference I was born in 1980).<p>I found it on youtube here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRD4gb0p5RM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRD4gb0p5RM</a>
