A geometry set consists of a range of mathematical instruments which are used by children globally and have been for generations for a range of needs in mathematics and geometry lessons. Here at Office 365, we have a great selection of geometry supplies which include the following items:

180° Protractor – A priceless tool in every geometry set and probably the most commonly used, the protractor is a semicircular plastic tool which accurately measures degrees, declaring acute or obtuse with confidence. Completely unchangeable, we can rely on the protractor to give accurate results every time!

Compass – A compass or pair of compasses is a technical drawing instrument which can be found inside geometry sets and is used in schools for inscribing circles or arcs, in mathematics and geometry. Outside of school they are often used as a tool to measure distances on maps but are also used in mathematics, drafting, navigation, and various other purposes.

15cm Ruler – A ruler is an instrument used in geometry, technical drawing, printing, engineering/building and general day to day life, to measure distances and to rule straight lines and edges. Smaller children even use a ruler as a counting tool!

Triangle/Set Square – A set square is an object which is used in engineering, mathematics and technical drawing, and provides a straightedge at a right angle or various other planar angles to a baseline. It is quite simply a triangular piece of transparent plastic with the centre removed and features bevelled edges

Pencil Sharpener – Included in every geometry set is a pencil sharpener which is used to shave away the layers from a pencil as the lead within runs low. Sharpening the pencil will expose new lead so that the user can have a sharper point to work with.

Eraser – Without an eraser we’d face serious difficulties; a pencil eraser will remove any markings you feel are incorrect, not accurate or simply no longer required; very useful for mathematics and geometry!

Alternatively, you can always purchase these items individually so that you can create the optimum set. Often ‘put together’ geometry sets will feature a short ruler, a short pencil and an eraser which leaves a lot to be desired. By creating your own set you can or enjoy the benefits of all the best. For example, you could choose a mechanical pencil and spare leads, a nice white crumbly eraser, a metal sharpener for years of reliable use, a well put together and decent compass, a Rotring one for example. You could choose a full length ruler, a biodegradable protractor and set square. The possibilities are endless, and they’re yours.

For most of you, this is your final chance to get your supplies in ready for the new school term! You’ll need colouring supplies and desk tides, paper, glue, staplers, staples, erasers, sharpeners, OHP film, paper clips, sticky tape, scissors, pens; the list is endless and that’s just for the classroom! For the school office you’ll need to stock back up on ink cartridges for your printers and fax machines, rubber stamps, telephone message pads and so on. But what all the kids leaving their primary schools are preparing for is of course their top school supplies!

They’ll need a list of supplies that include; pencils, pens, colouring supplies, geometry sets, rulers, erasers, sharpeners, calculators, binders and pockets, highlighters and so on. Luckily Office 365 are your one top shop and so rather than trawling though your high street shops for your long list of supplies, try finding everything you need here! Plus, if this is your first order with us, we’ll give you 10% off. Coupled with our Price Match Guarantee, you’re sure to find the best deal going with us!

One of the most wanted top school supplies in demand right now is the binder. Also highly beneficial for those starting college or 6^th form, the binder is an essential tool for storing class work, case studies, coursework, homework, artwork, and so on. To narrow down the incredible list of options for you, we’ve picked out one which seems to tick all the most essential boxes. We needed to look at first and foremost, value for money, then durability as we wouldn’t want to recommend one which will fall apart and finally capacity. We found this;

The Elba Index Ring Binder featured most certainly has it all, and more!

• Extra wide covers enable the file to be used in conjunction with dividers or punched pockets without them protruding
• Four D-ring binding mechanism with 40mm capacity!
• Clear ticket holder on spine for easy identification of contents
• Full clear pockets to front and back covers
• Size: A4
• White
• Packed 4

This robust pack of binders will hold all your punched pockets, indexes, tabs and a huge abundance of paperwork effortlessly whilst allowing full personalisation. Coming in packs of 4 means that you can have one for each subject, or one for each child! This one certainly gets our approval, however there are plenty where that came from. So for a full list of available binders, come and explore our world of stationery at Office 365 UK!

It’s that time again! We’re now well into the school summer holidays and with just 2 weeks left to go, it’s high time we get organised! The kids will be needing all sorts before they return to their schools and those of them starting school or moving up into their next school will need a whole range of different equipment to get them off to the right start. With my own daughter moving up to secondary school, I feel well equipped to advise which stationery items will be needed for those in the same position. Please see the list below for a checklist of what to get over the next two weeks!

• Pens – As my daughter’s new headmaster advised during her open day at her new school, pack two! One pen just isn’t enough; loose it and your new teacher will be highly annoyed! Always pack a spare pen! Worry not, we have plenty of cheap pens here at Office 365, including highlighters which are a must have for those moving up to top school!
• Pencils – For artwork and drafts, a pencil is essential for students of all ages. Choose from a selection of wood case and mechanical pencils here in a range of shades.
• Colouring Supplies – Unsure of what was best to buy, I purchased both colouring pencils and felt pens for my daughter; or rather she did with her birthday pennies! This way they are equipped for every scenario. Choose from a full spectrum colouring supplies here!
• Correctors & Erasers – Always make sure your child is equipped with an eraser! Given their tiny price, it is also advisable to provide a spare. For those moving up into secondary school, it is also advisable to provide correction fluid as children work more with ink and must produce neat written essays.
• Pencil Sharpener – If you’re going to provide pencils and colouring pencils, of course they will need some means in which to sharpen them! Choose from a range of manual, mains or battery powered items here.
• Ring Binder/Lever Arch File – Aimed more at children in secondary school, the binder means that any coursework and essays written by students can be kept safe, neat and organised inside a binder. Choose from a rather extensive range here!
• Plastic Pockets – If you’re going to purchase the binder, you’ll also benefit from choosing plastic pockets. Perfect for separating work as well as protecting it, plastic pockets also mean that there is no need to punch holes into your papers! With A3, A4 and A5 varieties here, you’re sure to find exactly what you need!
• Ruler – A rather obvious one, but often forgotten, the ruler is essential for children in education so that they are able to produce neat, perfectly straight lines and so that they are able to complete measurements in both mathematics and other areas such as design, art and graphics.
• Geometry Sets – Used in Mathematics, trigonometry, design and sometimes geography, a geometry set is essential for children moving up into senior school. We have a selection of individual items such as protractors, rulers, set squares, compasses and more, or alternatively, you can purchase the entire school set!
• Calculator – Of course, the oh-so-essential calculator. Now a required tool during GCSE examination, the calculator is used in all mathematics classes and is also useful in various other lessons too. Choose from our selection of handheld, desktop and scientific models here.
