Hi Mezbetsy,

A protractor is a device used to measure angles. A protractor usually looks like a half circle with numbers around the edges. You can find them at office supply stores or in the school supplies section of stores like Walmart or Target.

Here is a page that talks about protractors and how to use one:

All the best,
