Count tally marks — gates of five plus the leftovers — and find the biggest count.
Tally marks are counted as gates of five — four strokes and a diagonal slash — plus the leftover marks, so the child skip-counts by fives and adds the rest. Rounds count one row, total two rows, and find the most or fewest across a small frequency table. The marks are drawn large and clear for the youngest learners. It builds tally reading, skip-counting, and counting. Best for Grades 1–3.
