Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn something fun and exciting. We have a special worksheet called “Bugs Tally.” It’s all about organizing information, which is a fancy way of saying we’re going to learn how to keep track of things using tally marks!
Tally marks are simple lines that help us count numbers easily. Let’s see how they work:
Using tally marks, we can count by fives, like five, ten, fifteen, and so on. It’s like a fun counting game!
Now, let’s look at our worksheet and count some bugs using tally marks:
First, we see snails. Let’s count them: one, two. So, we draw two tally marks. Easy, right?
Next, we have flies. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five. We draw four lines and one across to show five.
Now, let’s count butterflies: one, two, three, four, five, six. That’s five plus one more, so we have six tally marks.
Look at the ladybugs! We count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. That’s two groups of five plus three more, making thirteen tally marks.
Next are mosquitoes. We count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. That’s two groups of five, which is ten tally marks.
Finally, let’s count the bumblebees: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. That’s four groups of five, making twenty tally marks.
Wow, you did an amazing job using tally marks to count bugs! Tally marks help us see numbers quickly and make counting fun. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a tally mark expert in no time!
Thanks for learning with us today. See you next time, friends!
Tally Hunt: Go on a tally hunt around your home or classroom! Find different objects like toys, books, or pencils. Count them using tally marks on a piece of paper. How many groups of five can you make? Share your findings with a friend or family member.
Nature Walk Tally: Take a walk outside with an adult and bring a notebook. Look for different types of leaves, rocks, or flowers. Use tally marks to count how many of each you find. Can you find more than five of any item? How many tally marks did you use?
Create Your Own Tally Story: Imagine you are in a magical forest where you need to count different animals using tally marks. Draw a picture of the forest and the animals you see. Write a short story about your adventure and include tally marks to show how many animals you counted. Share your story with the class!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello! Welcome back. Today we have a new worksheet, and the name of our worksheet is called “Bugs Tally.” One of the things we need to learn is how to organize data. Data is just a big word for information, which can be in the form of numbers, pictures, or words. We will organize some information here using tally marks to help us keep track of things.
Let’s talk about tally marks real quick. Tally marks are simple marks used to represent numbers. For example, one tally mark represents one, two tally marks equal two, three tally marks equal three, and four tally marks equal four. When we start to have more, we group them by fives. We write one, two, three, four, and then for the fifth one, we draw a line across. This helps us keep track of the total count.
When you have a lot of numbers, this method makes it easy to count by fives, like five, ten, fifteen, twenty, and so on.
Now, let’s look at our worksheet. The directions say to check the correct number of bugs you see. First, let’s count the snails. We have one, two. So, we need to find the tally marks that represent this. The correct answer is two.
Next, we have some flies. Let’s count them: one, two, three, four, five. Since we know that five is represented by a line across, we can see that this is five.
Now, let’s count the butterflies. We have one, two, three, four, five, six. This is five plus one, so the answer is six.
Next, we have ladybugs. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. We need two groups of five plus three, which gives us thirteen.
Now, let’s count the mosquitoes. We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. This is two groups of five, which is ten.
Finally, we have bumblebees. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. That’s twenty, which is four groups of five.
So, that’s how we keep track of data or information using tally marks. Tally marks help us visually and quickly see groups of five, making it easier to count and add on. Great job today working with your tally marks! I’ll see you again next time. Bye, friends!
