I was at a workshop and we used these rulers that had the middle cut out and had a sliding device that you put the pencil in so you could use the ruler as a compass. (Holding one end of the ruler and moving the pencil, created a perfect arc.) I think they would be great for my class but don't know where to find them. Does anyone know where I can order them?

Are these guesses? Or do you know they are there? Why a stationary store??

MissInspired: Yes I did search places, Staples, Office Max, Holcombs (teacher store), and Walmart. If it were that easy, I would not have posted the question. The closest thing I found was at Office Max but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I surmise what you bought was a PROTRACTOR with a ruler at the bottom. As a math teacher, I do know the difference between a compass and a protractor.

Do you mean an AccuDraw? I think they're what you're talking about, but I've never seen them in an office or stationery store (much less Walmart, wtf?). Are you looking for something like this?

They're kind of expensive, but you can get a discount if you order them in bulk. ( http://catalog.theturtleshell.com//product_info.php?products_id=14512&osCsid=65feb94d33f4e9374293e550c121ff64 )
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Well, I'm sitting here looking at one and I got it at Walmart. It was 79 cents, which is quite high for rulers.
Did you even look before you asked, because the other 2 answers were great ones. Thanks!
