Why are tally marks so difficult for some children?
I've found giving kiddos a chance to manipulate tallies helps bridge the gap...and they love it!
Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Very cool hands on idea:) Songs help with tally mark mastery too.
ReplyDeleteOoh, we love some songs but don't have a tally mark song! I'd love to learn it, Kristy!!

This really works. I heard about it a year ago and it has made all the difference in my students learning how to write and count tally marks. No more pulling my hair out over the few who can't get it because now they do.
ReplyDeleteThere's really something to be said for "hands-on." And this one is such a cheap one! Ha! Thanks so much for stopping by, Shannon!! Have a great week! Laura
DeleteSuch an easy, hands on, terrific solution to mastering them. Wish I had though about it! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thanks so much to all of you first grade teachers who teach tallying! I'm so thankful that when they get to me in grade 3 they've already mastered writing and counting tally marks!

Hi, Jan! You are so sweet! It's the little things that make all the difference, isn't it? I'll teach tallies if you teach multiplication!! :) Have a great weekend!
