Tally Marks
- Tally marks can be used for counting.
- The count can be updated without erasing what was written before.
- They work best for smaller numbers
How to Use Tally Marks
- Tally marks are placed in groups of five or less.
- Counts 1 through 4 are up and down lines that are next to each other.
- The fifth count is indicated by a diagonal mark which is made across the four up and down marks.
- This process is repeated for the next counts.
- The total count can be determined by counting by five for each whole group and then counting by ones
for any additional marks.
