After many requests a tally marks mini unit is finally here! I hope you enjoy using these lessons and centres with your students🤍
.
Please note: I created the Mario or Luigi one with the editable file but that printable is not included in the file (I was just testing the editable file out + took a picture to show you an example of what you could make!) I cannot sell or share files with licenced or trademarked characters (this is why I put “building blocks” on one of the sheets instead of Lego (because Lego is trademarked)). I talk about this often so I think most people know, but I just wanted to make sure I put in a note about it so you don’t think that sheet is included and are disappointed when you see that it’s not!

I’ve had a few requests to make non themed versions of the surveys in my older spring and summer packs.. then last week an old co-worker and friend messaged me saying her students LOVED the spring surveys and were asking to do more (music to my ears☺️) and asked if I could create some for her. I already had a mini tally unit on my to do list so I bumped it up to this week and I’m sending 5 of these “Ask & Tally” pages to my email list✨

There will be a mini unit coming with lesson plans, more “Ask & Tally” options (with an editable version😉) and tally mark centres too! If you have my printable year long bundle it will be added there as a free update😉 More info coming soon…❤️
