An engaging teen host heads to the beach for a day of fun with decimals! That's right: whether you're buying ice cream, hitting a surf shop for a clearance sale, or just frolicking in the sea and sand, it turns out that knowing how to use decimals comes in mighty handy. This creative program teaches viewers about place values, percentages, rounding off, estimations, and other aspects of working with decimals (knowledge of fractions and long-form multiplication and division are assumed), using plenty of practical, fun examples buttressed with solid graphics. Part of the six-volume Mathemania Series Four (series price: $480), other titles include: Rational Numbers: We Are Proportional, Integers: The Whole Thing, Roots: The Radical Idea, Exponents: We Are the Power, and Algebraic Notation: Math as a Foreign Language. Recommended. Aud: J, H. (E. Gieschen)
