Frequency table worksheets with five categories

What is on this worksheet

A longer list of words has five different kinds, and students tally each kind and write the frequency and the total.

• Activity: Tally a list into a frequency table
• Rows in each table: 5

You can change any of these settings above. Press "New problems" for a fresh set with the same settings, or pick Version A to Z to print different sheets for neighboring desks. The answer key always matches.

About tally charts and frequency tables

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.
