These tally mark worksheets are a simple and visual way for children to practice counting and organizing information. In this printable activity, your child reads tally marks, converts them into numbers, and uses them to determine how many of each coin are shown. It’s a fun way to strengthen counting skills while working with a money theme.
These worksheets focus on reading tally marks and counting groups, not adding coins.
Tally marks are such a fun way to count objects! I teach my children to use tally marks in 1st and 2nd grades because there is so much opportunity in the younger grades to practice. We count animal counters, pattern blocks, pencils in the box, and today we are counting coins with tally marks!
