Protractor

Large Print Protractor (4-pack)

by American Printing House for the Blind

Est. $15–$40

Ready to use This is a physical, low-tech tool — open and use. No pairing, programming, or professional assessment needed. A TVI may recommend it as part of a low-vision toolkit, but the protractor itself is self-serve once in hand.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

A classroom set of four oversized protractors with high-contrast, enlarged degree markings designed for students with low vision who struggle to read standard-print measurement tools. Each protractor includes a built-in wand that helps trace and explore angles tactilely — useful for students who need both visual and tactile cues to understand angular measurement. This is a complete, ready-to-use set requiring no setup; four protractors ship together, appropriate for a small group or classroom supply. These are discontinued by APH, so availability is limited and stock won't be replenished.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Open the package and distribute protractors — no assembly or configuration needed.
  • With a guide
    1. A teacher or TVI (Teacher of the Visually Impaired) may want to pair use with instruction on how to position the wand along angle arms for accurate reading.
    2. Allow 10–15 minutes of guided practice for students unfamiliar with protractor use. See APH's product documentation for any accompanying instructional notes.
