Kidco Protractor 100mm, 180 Degree, Shatter Resistant

This is a basic half circle protractor, 100mm across, marked 0 to 180 degrees on both directions so you can read an angle from either side without flipping it around, which honestly saves a lot of confusion for younger students still learning the difference between the inner and outer scale. The edges are bevelled so you can draw a clean line right along it instead of the pencil skating off, and the plastic is described as shatter resistant, meaning it survives a drop off a desk instead of cracking down the middle like the really cheap ones do.

One thing worth mentioning honestly, this protractor has a slightly frosted, less than fully transparent finish compared to the crystal clear protractors some students are used to from bigger brands. That’s not a dealbreaker for basic homework and exam use since the graduations are still dark and easy to read, but if your child specifically needs to see the page clearly through the protractor for detailed diagram work, a fully clear one might suit better. For everyday geometry class, angle drawing, and measuring, it does the job without any fuss.

It’s priced low enough that it makes sense to just buy a couple at once, since protractors are famous for disappearing from pencil cases within the first month of school, right along with erasers and sharpeners. A simple, no nonsense tool for basic geometry homework and class use.
