Tally charts across the grades

1st grade

Tally chart worksheets for first grade ask your child to read a two-column chart with three categories and answer one question about it. Counts stay at 10 or below: crossed bundles of five plus loose marks.

2nd grade

Second grade tally charts move to four categories with counts up to 25. Alongside the straight how-many reads, questions now compare (how many more chose one category than another) and total the whole chart.
