What's on this sheet
The diagonal is the whole point. Without it a tally is a row of ones and a child counts them one at a time; with it the row becomes fives and a two, and counting turns into skip counting. The gates on these sheets are drawn struck through their own four marks rather than as a fifth upright leaning over, because that is what the child will be asked to draw.
Why this sheet works
Reading comes before recording, and a printable can only mark the reading. So these sheets give the chart and ask the questions — how many of this, how many more of that, how many altogether — and leave the tallying itself to the classroom, where there is something to count.
