Teachables Protractor Door Mat - Large-Scale Measurement

The Protractor Door Mat offers a creative and interactive way to explore angles in everyday classroom settings. Shaped like a semi-circular protractor, this durable floor mat allows students to visually engage with angle measurement each time the door opens. Simply align the door hinge with the centre of the mat-students can then observe and estimate the angle created as the door moves, promoting continuous reinforcement of angle awareness and degrees in real-life context.

This versatile resource also doubles as a floor-based protractor, making it ideal for measuring angles of shapes, objects, or even as part of geometry-focused lessons and activities. The sturdy 5mm-thick mat is designed for high-traffic use and is perfectly suited to classrooms and learning environments.

Educational Benefits:

• Provides constant, incidental learning about angles and degrees with every door movement.
• Supports visual-spatial reasoning and angle estimation in a practical context.
• Encourages students to engage with geometry concepts outside of traditional desk work.
• Durable design ensures longevity and safe use in classrooms and shared spaces.

Classroom Ideas:

• Angle Exploration: Challenge students to estimate and record angles formed by the door at different openings.
• Measuring Shapes: Use the mat to measure the angles of various classroom items or geometric figures.
• Math Centre Activity: Incorporate the mat into a geometry station for hands-on practice with angles.
• Estimation Game: Create a game where students guess the angle before checking it on the mat, encouraging critical thinking and spatial reasoning.
