The 1960s was a time of great change in many countries around the world including Ireland. This change took place in politics, culture and social norms.

This 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. It’s a bit of nostalgia with lots of unusual language, but it might be worth showing pupils what 4th class pupils had to learn for maths in 1940′s Ireland. 
This is a template for independent project work for pupils in senior classes. It covers elements of SESE History, science, maths, English and visual arts. Pupils have to design the ship, show drawings, write a report and construct the ship.
