Mathematical Learning - Let's Tally!

Within our daily classroom activities we continue to work on early number concepts with students.  These concepts refer to the foundational skills students need in order to understand and work with numbers successfully.  However, during our focused math lessons we have been exploring tally charts.  

We have rolled dice and recorded the number of times that it landed on a particular number. 

We have surveyed the class and recorded using a tally chart some of our favourites.  Here is  a tally chart of our favourite colours.  We even interpreted the data and recorded our findings below.


Can you think of things to tally at home?  Students continue to work on carefully counting tally marks.
