Dividers

Dividers

Dividers are used to mark off a series of equal distances.  They look similar to compasses except they do not have a drawing point.  Instead they are equipped with two sharp needle points.  Since compasses are available with extra point, they can be used as dividers.  Unless students will be using dividers frequently, there is no need for to purchase a separate set of dividers.

Dividers are similar to compasses but have two sharp points and no drawing lead.
