About this sheet
Six to ten is where number formation stops being easy, and a child who traced 1 to 5 happily can stall here for weeks. Three separate difficulties arrive at once in these five rows, which is the argument for practicing them apart from the numbers that are already fluent — a mixed 1-to-10 sheet spends half its cells on shapes the hand already knows and gives the ones that are actually failing two cells each.
Why it is drawn this way
6 and 9 are the pair most often reversed, and they are reversed because they are the same shape seen twice; doing them on different days is worth more than any amount of correcting. 4, 5 and 9 are the three digits the Zaner-Bloser manuscript convention writes with two strokes, so two of them fall in this range, and both start rings are numbered on the example. And 10 is the first number a child writes that is made of two marks with a gap between them.
