Ten Frame Stencil

In trying to learn 1st grade Common Core math, I saw my son was struggling with the spacing between the 10 frame dots, making it hard to circle dots into groups of 10 as required by the curriculum. He was getting frustrated and starting to dread math class.

Once he started using this stencil, he got much more confident with his math classwork and went from tears to smiles. After a few uses, he didn't need it anymore and was able to draw the 10 frame dots with sufficient spacing.
