This is probably a long shot, but would anyone have access to either a text or study guide used for primary (or high school) education with a publish date prior to the 1990's? Or somewhere around there at least. Thanks :).

@topsquark that's fine.. If there is a publisher name or something I can trace back maybe.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
