Tally marks are lines used for counting. We draw four vertical lines and cross them with a fifth slanted line to represent a group of five.
How do we read a pictograph in this chapter?
First, look at the key to see how many animals each picture represents, then multiply that number by the total number of pictures drawn.
Why do we group numbers by tens and hundreds?
Grouping makes it much faster and easier to count large numbers of animals without making mistakes.
