Using a Pair of Compasses
When we need to draw a circle we use a mathematical tool
called a pair of compasses.
Hinge
Holder for
a pencil
Compass
needle
Using a Pair of Compasses
First we place our pencil in the holder and make sure the tip of the
pencil and the needle are level. Then, we tighten the pencil holder grip so the
pencil won’t move around.
Using a Pair of Compasses
Hold the top of the pair of compasses with your thumb and first finger. Place the
needle onto the paper and gently spin the pencil around the needle, keeping the
needle completely still.
