Tally Chart Tally charts help people count. Each tally mark in a tally chart represents one object. For example, to count three smiley faces, you make three tally marks in the chart. Tally marks are grouped in sets of five, which makes counting easier. Instead of counting marks one-by-one, you can skip-count by fives and add on any remaining marks. Color of Smiley Faces Number of Balls TallyFrequency red/1 orange///3 green////5 blue//2 black0

Length of Calls in Minutes Number of Calls TallyFrequency 3/1 4///3 50 6//2 7////5 8//// //7 9////4 10/1 Tally Chart Look at this tally chart. How many 7 minute phone calls were made? 5 phone calls How do you know? There were 5 tally marks in the 7 minute row so the frequency was 5.
