We are learning about tally marks in first grade! Students have been practicing tally marks on paper, white boards, and even the Smart Board! One of the students' favorite activities is coming up with a question to use to poll the class and tally the answers. Some students are using basic yes/no polls while others are asking questions with more choices, such as, "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?". This afternoon we did a special tally mark art project! Each student got a "Tally Mark Tim" page and five popsicle sticks. They colored their popsicle sticks and glued them to tally mark tim to show how to make neat, straight, and organized tally marks. They loved it!
