This Grade 1 tally marks worksheet introduces the classic counting strokes kids will use all year. Children trace key words, then complete fill-in sentences showing four upright lines crossed by a fifth slanted line to make five. True or false questions check whether students understand the crossing rule and the idea that each stroke stands for exactly one item counted.
