Have you ever used your fingers to help you count? Using fingers
is one way to keep track of the number of things we are counting. But
sometimes, the items we are counting total more than our ten fingers.
Tallying is another way for people to keep track of things they
count. Tally marks look like this:
Does this remind you
of using your fingers to count?

To tally, we count â1, 2, 3, 4, tally cross 5.â Each tally line represents one
thing that we are counting. We can continue counting by adding more tally lines
or marks: â6, 7, 8, 9, tally cross 10.â The next group would be â11, 12, 13, 14, tally
cross 15.â When we count groups of tallies, we count by fives. For any leftover
marks (groups less than five), we keep counting by ones. The numbers below end
with a group of three: 16, 17, 18.
With tallying, we can keep track of more than one thing at a time. In our
story, on page 5 Tally McNally kept track of his cans and Stripesâs cans. Each
time a can was added to Stripesâs pile, Tally added one mark by Stripesâs name.
Each time a can was added to Tallyâs pile, he added a mark by his own name. This
would have been a great way to see who was tallerâif all the cans had been the
same size. But that sneaky Tally scrunched some of his cans. That way he could
add more cans to his tally and make it look like he was taller. Can you tell how he
tried to trick Kitty on page 6 so that his tally was smaller?
