The present invention herein called "LABEs", comprises a manipulative for assisting students in the visual understanding of the relationships of all angles in a rectangle, triangle, or other such geometric shapes relative to their side lengths, thus allowing the student to prove theorems used in the teaching of geometry. The manipulative further comprises a disk having indicia representing a 360 degree compass, the disk having a first fixed leg, bearing indicia in units of length, extending from the disk at a point adjacent the zero degree indicia mark, and a second leg, having a sleeve portion, which is pivotally attached to the center of the disk by a snap grommet, the sleeve portion being capable of accepting the fixed leg of a second LABE in a longitudinal, adjustable manner therein.
