Definition of Tally Mark


Tally marks are marks made to keep count of how many times a particular data item appears.


Tally marks are placed in groups of \(5\) for ease of counting: the first four marks are made vertically, and the fifth mark is drawn diagonally across them.

For example, the table on the left shows that \(11\) students play Skylanders.
