About this skill
Tally marks are an old and practical way to count in groups of five. They are used in surveys and scoring, so they appear often in data handling.
How to teach it
- Let children touch or tick every object as they count it.
- Chant skip counting aloud while clapping or stepping, then write it.
- Count up and back down — going backwards is a different skill.
Mistakes to watch for
- Counting an object twice or missing one — use a pencil to cross off each item.
- Skipping a number in the decade change (for example 39, 50 instead of 39, 40).
