What is a Tally Chart?

A Tally Chart is a way of count objects. It is most effective when recording 'live' data one item at-a-time.

For example, traffic surveys recording the type of vehicle passing a point; doing a class survey where you ask one person at a time.

The tally is recorded with a straight vertical line representing each item of data and the fifth item is made by crossing the previous 4 lines (shown below).

This makes the job of counting all the data up at the end much quicker and less prone to error.

You can see in the example below the difference it makes when the tally is made in groups of 5 (top example) compared to the bottom example which is just in 1s.

Not only is the tally much quicker to count, but it is also far easier to get an accurate result.

Tally Chart Example

Below is an example of an bug survey which a group did during a bug hunt.

Each time a bug was seen it was recorded in the chart.

The data is recorded in a tally, and the tally is totalled at the end of the bug hunt.

Tally Chart Worksheets

There are several different skills involved in using and understanding tally charts which our worksheets cover:

converting a tally into a number;

These sheets are aimed at kids in 1st and 2nd grade.

We have split our worksheets into 3 sections to deal with these skills:

The first section contains sheets to convert a tally into a number;
The second section contains sheets to convert a number into a tally;
The third section (which is harder) involves collecting data items and recording them correctly as a tally, then counting them up.
