This game is quick and easy, so we’ll play it once in a while until he’s a pro with tally marks. (He decided the game needed a name, so we worked together to pick “Roll for Points.”) On the second game it was his turn to keep track of our scores. I told him the simple rules: we take turns rolling the die, whoever gets to 25 points first wins! I kept tallies for the first game. The book suggested counting straws, but I figured a little competitive game would be more fun. We read about tally marks in I Love Math: How Do Octupi Eat Pizza Pie and I realized a little practice was in order. The I Love Math series (only available used) also contains stories, along with games, word problems, and suggestions for hands-on activities.Īs needed I find extra hands-on practice for math concepts: like playing store for coin recognition and dividing items for even and odd. Life of Fred works well because the books focus on understanding math concepts, are based on funny stories, and each chapter only has a handful of questions. We use the Life of Fred Elementary Series and an old series of books called I Love Math. I avoid a workbook style math curriculum for my son, after realizing in Kindergarten that it did not suit his learning style. (Bonus math: practice counting by fives!) We used a whiteboard (though pencil and paper would work) and a single die for a quick and easy game that provided lots of practice making tally marks, adding to existing marks, and counting up tallies. Simple supplies are all you need to practice with tally marks. CSC Tally Academy is an Offline/online learning and teaching marketplace.
