Tally Marks? |ιι
Tally marks are a type of counting using vertical lines. One line means one, two means two, three means three, four means four, and then for the fifth line, it would go diagonal across the previous four lines, which would be five.
Draw a straight line and in the middle mark the zero position. Now make even marks leading away from that point. Call one direction positive numbers and the other negative numbers. Usually horizontal lines have positive numbers going to the right and vertical lines have them going up. Conversely down or to the left are negative numbers.
tally are these kind of stripes that represent numbers. For example one stripe is equal to 1 two tally stripes is equal to two etc when you come to five you have to put a diagonal line across the stripes. In frequency tables you just use numbers 1,2,3 etc
A "frequency table" just refers to a kind of table you can make to record the frequency of particular results or events, as part of an experiment or to analyse data. It is convenient to list the possible events or results along the left side of the table, and then make tally marks across from them, in order to count the number of times each one appears; thus, the tally marks represent each event or result's frequency, or the number of times it shows up.

The only way I found to make tally marks in Excel is to llll would be to us the lower case l and use strike-through for the five
We don't who who the first person was but it was around 30,000 BC when tally marks were made on bones and things to represent numbers.
It is not true to say that people don't use tally marks often - they do!
In Ancient Rome, tally marks were used one at a time to represent numbers. It wasn't until later that numbers were instituted to represent numbers to make large numbers shorter.

It does not matter. The main thing is that it clearly marks a block of 5.
The word 'number' comes from Latin word ' numerus' meaning a quatityt. Various marks on bones/wood etc., are thought to be 'tally marks' from 40,000 years ago. Our modern number symbols of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, are Arabic in origin.
