2 Books about Tally Marks

I was looking for books about using tally marks. There really are not that many out there. Note to self: write a book about using tallies 😉 I did, however, come across two books that I have used in the past and will continue to use. Here they are!

Tally O’Malley (MathStart) by Stuart J. Murphy

The O’Malleys are off to the beach.The drive is long and the day is hot, what can the O’Malley kids to do pass the time? Play the tally game of course! They can tally the number of gray cars or green t-shirts they see. And, the one with the most tallies at the end wins. Big brother and big sister each have a win, but little brother never seems to win… or will he?
