[Blindmath] Measuring Angles using the APH Braille/Print Protractor

[Lewicki, Maureen]

Thanks Susan these are great. I notice you are using a different protractor than I have. Did you get it from APH? I can't find it in the catalogue. Only a plastic one seems to be in there. I must be missing something?!

As I mentioned earlier, the APH Braille/Print measuring videos are actually available on YouTube. They just aren't accessible via that distance ed website. Here are the "horrible" links for now if it was too much trouble to do the search.

I've also attached that Canadian article I mentioned from Tammy MacDonald-Doran.

A sample of measuring angles with those included for 2-D...which my student LOVED!!!!
