[Blindmath] measuring angles

[Lewicki, Maureen]

This is a good question, and I suppose I will have to contact state ed to find that out for certain. This is an excellent student, and he will go far, so I want to make sure I prepare him for whatever he wants to pursue. If it were up to me, I would just have him understand acute, obtuse, and right, but will this be sufficient to get him through Geometry? I don't know at this point.

Is it essential he be able to measure the angles, or would it be enough for him to recognize acute, right, and obtuse angles?

Please give me some ideas as to how to teach a student to measure angles. I am using the American Printing House protractor, and the Graphic aid from APH(Consists of a cork board mounted with a rubber mat embossed with a 34 x 30 grid of 1/2 inch squares. ) I am constructing the angles with rubber bands, and push pins, or they are prepared using embossed angles paper. 

The process is so encumbered! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, M
