For The Survey Parents and Math Legends

I was shown this film back in one of the grades... possibly 8th grade geometry or 11th grade trig, either way the content stuck no matter how childish, the teacher was onto something. It may seem silly as an adult to have old Donald Duck get a math lesson, the content is fantastic. Originally it is from 1959 and cartooned in 1961 featuring the one and only Donald Duck as a historical math student. The link attached is somewhat reworked for better quality but unchanged. If you can put up with childish sections or fast forward through them, I highly recommend watching it in it's entirety. It is obviously geared toward a younger generation, but the content might fascinate some who never thought to think about math this way. Everyday, ordinary things might become the newest excitement. FYI entire video is 27 minutes long.

Fast forward to about 2:40 for the intro the Pythagoras section.

Around 8:25 is a great, basic idea of the rectangular PLSS in a perfect math sense,
Around 20:00 is a great Billiard lesson for those that dabble, might help your game 😉
Around 24:00 is a before GNSS technology representation of satellite geometry.

Personally, I think this old film carries some serious educational merit and I thank whichever teacher it was that played it during class. If there are any children or parents left that can hang with Donald Duck during a Disney math lesson here ya go
