Tally Marks Counting Practice - 1 to 10

Count Tallies - Tally Marks Practice is a simple and engaging worksheet designed to help young learners understand tally marks and number recognition. Students count the tally marks in each box and write the matching number. It’s a no prep activity that’s perfect for practicing counting in fives and developing early math skills.

I created this resource to give students an easy way to practice tally marks without feeling overwhelmed. It works great for independent work, early finishers, math centers, or even homework. I’ve used it in my own classroom, and it’s always a hit because it feels more like a game than a worksheet.

How you can use it:

• Morning work or bell ringer

• Math stations or centers

• Independent seatwork

• Homework or review

• Quick assessment

Why teachers love it:

• Helps students count by 5s and 1s

• Reinforces the visual grouping of tally marks

• Builds number writing confidence

• No prep, just print and use!

This activity is best suited for kindergarten or first grade, but it can be used as a quick review for older students who need a refresher.

Enjoy!
