Tally Marks
Tally marks are a quick way to count things using vertical lines, where every fifth line is drawn diagonally across the first four lines to make counting in groups of five easier.
Pictograph
A pictograph is a way of showing data using small pictures or symbols, where each picture can represent a specific number of items.
Key (Legend)
A key in a pictograph tells us how many actual items one picture or symbol stands for, such as one apple symbol representing 10 real apples.

Why do we use tally marks in math?
Tally marks help us count large numbers of items easily by grouping them in fives, which prevents mistakes when counting.
What should I do if a pictograph shows half a picture?
If a symbol represents 10 items and you see half of that symbol, it represents half of 10, which is 5 items.
Is the key important when reading a pictograph?
Yes, the key is very important because without it, you will not know how many items each picture actually represents.
