    I'm just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to where I can buy some magnetic mathematical instruments (protractor, ruler, compass etc) for demonstration use on the school white board?

    I was quite surprised to start at a school recently and discover they didn't have any.

    The company is Irish and based in Dublin - can't vouch for them as I haven't dealt with them but a quick Google search gave the link ;) Try your local book/stationery shop, expecially if they stock school books and supplies.

    NB - Just discovered that they're wholesalers and deal with the trade only!

    I don't know if you have access to a data projector and computer in your room but if you do an alternative to using these instruments on the board is getting a visualiser which is basically an instrument that looks like a lamp but has a camera at then end. It allows you to use normal mathematical instruments on your desk and it projects it onto the board. Also allows you to record what you are doing which allows you to play in a loop.

    I got them via the stationary shop on the ucd flyover had to order them in, they have to be ordered in from Spain and they are expensive- 30 quid for the kit or something.
