2nd grade math · Unit 10: Data

Tally marks and tables

What this lesson shows

A class votes on colors. Tally in bundles of 5, then write a table.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: apples 7, bananas 4, grapes 9. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. A mark for each vote
  2. Bundles of 5
  3. A table names each count

Helping at home

Make one tally mark for each vote, the fifth across the four. Then make a table: each answer on its own row, its count beside it.

If your kid gets stuck

Bundle every 5.
