Expert Commentary
Protractors are essential school supplies that all students grade school and up need. Protractors are not only learning tools, but also handy for measuring angles, sketching and ensuring symmetry. I personally use them for art projects and anytime I need to measure angles and ensure straight lines. The options above are durable and vary in amount, color and design. They are all clear for easy reading and getting the job done.
