This interesting educational 16mm film from my archives has lots of cool slices of life in the mid-1970's interspersed with graphics of decimal operations. Cool calculators? Check. Rulers? Check. Kids outside having fun with measuring things? Check! As usual I transferred this film with my own Telecine and corrected color to taste. Enjoy!

You're the best Frran. I love this stuff.
Ah, the nostalgia!
I thought this was going to be about converting from binary to decimal with vacuum tubes, etc..
Imperial measurement uses dozimals.
Holy cow! They had the metric system in the 1970s too?? 😱 /s
I have that exact calculator in the thumbnail. And it works!
Revisiting a film I might have seen in grade school in the 60's. I was surprised when they mentioned adding tax to their grocery total for the final cost. I don't ever remember groceries bought in NJ ever taxable. I had to look it up. I was correct, food purchased here in NJ was never taxed, with the exception if service were ever rendered, of course. Today, there are 13 states that have a grocery tax. Arkansas at 0.125%, up to Mississippi at 7%., with 11 states inbetween. Just a little information for your next Trivial Pursute game.
What, no Common Core math? Average person these days can't even make change.
Decimal is just the base 10 counting system. What's meant by 'decimal' used as the name for the part after the point is the phrase 'decimal fraction'. So yeah, obviously they're 'just another way of writing fractions'.
it would have been more useful when I was 8 😅
