Maths History

by admin on 29/03/2013

Maths HistoryThis Powerpoint presentation shows a selection of images from the pages of a 4th Class Maths Book from 1940′s Ireland. It shows examples of old money (pounds, shillings and pence), old measures of length (miles, perches, furlongs), old measures of capacity (gallons, pecks and bushels), old shop bills and much more.
