Normal

A tally chart is a way to count things using tallies, which are lines drawn on paper. Each group of five tallies gets a special mark, like a slanted line, to make counting easier. For example, if you count 12 apples, you could draw two groups of five tallies and two extra lines. This helps you see how many you have quickly!
