Tally charts and frequency tables

Count tally marks, draw tally marks for a number, or tally a list into a frequency table.

About this worksheet

Three activities in one: read tally marks and write the number, draw tally marks to match a number, or tally a list of words into a frequency table. Tally marks are grouped in fives (four lines and a slash), so students practice counting in fives as well as reading data.

Choose the largest count (up to 30 for reading and drawing; lists keep each count at 9 or less so they fit on the page). Reading and list tables have a total row, and the answer key shows the finished table.
