Geometric Drawing Stencils offers accessible, durable stencils and tactile drawing strips for students who are blind or low vision to independently create common shapes and functions. With features like micro-suction tape and tactile measurement marks, these stencils make drawing precise shapes and graphs easier and more accurate.
Geometric Drawing Stencils is an accessible set of manipulatives and 3D printable files that students who are blind or low vision can use to draw common shapes and functions. This collection of durable geometric stencils includes circles, ellipses, parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and more! Also included are six tactile drawing strips. The tactile measurement marks (in inches and centimeters) allow students to draw line segments and polygons with exact-length measurements. All geometric stencils and drawing strips are backed with micro-suction tape so they stick to the working surface while students are tracing, which frees up your students’ hands for drawing and measuring.
Among the 3D printable files are 14 stencils for drawing graphs of quadratic, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. As your student progresses through their math studies, you can use a 3D printer to create new stencils as needed.
Unlike commercially available stencils, the components of Geometric Drawing Stencils are fully accessible to students who are blind or low vision. With use of micro-suction tape, tactile marks, and great durability, Geometric Drawing Stencils are designed to enable your students to draw tactile shapes and functions independently.
Micro-suction tape that prevents slipping and frees up your student’s hands to focus on drawing
Long-lasting tape that can be rinsed with water to restore sticking power
Shapes made of durable material that withstands heavy use
Accessible stencils of commonly seen geometric shapes as well as algebraic and trigonometric functions that encourage drawing graphics and learning math by hand
Tick marks (in inches and centimeters) on the drawing strips that allow measurement of line segments
Tactile marks on geometric stencils that show midpoints, degrees of angles, and the centers.

Here’s what our field testers had to say about Geometric Drawing Stencils:
“There is nothing quite like the Geometric Drawing Stencils. The existing tools are good but different. There is a definite need for these stencils. They provide many more tools in the toolbox.”
“I love their durability! They are nearly unbreakable.”
“Because the stencils stuck to the drawing surface, my students did not need to worry about them slipping. This made the drawing experience much more fulfilling.”
“They loved the geometric stencils! All of my students said it made it easy for them to draw a perfect shape.”
