Let’s go row by row and count the objects, write the number, and draw tally marks to match.
---
Row 1 (already done as example):
Rectangles: 13 → Tally: |||| |||| ||| (that’s 5 + 5 + 3 = 13)
✔
---
Row 2: Circles
Count them:
Top row: 4 circles
Bottom row: 3 circles
Total: 4 + 3 =
7
Tally for 7: |||| || (5 + 2)
---
Row 3: Hexagons
Top row: 6 hexagons
Bottom row: 6 hexagons
Total: 6 + 6 =
12
Tally for 12: |||| |||| || (5 + 5 + 2)
---
Row 4: Stars
Only one row: 8 stars
Total:
8
Tally for 8: |||| ||| (5 + 3)
---
Row 5: Squares
One row: 6 squares
Total:
6
Tally for 6: |||| | (5 + 1)
---
Row 6: Hearts
Top row: 5 hearts
Bottom row: 5 hearts
Total: 5 + 5 =
10
Tally for 10: |||| |||| (5 + 5)
---
Row 7: Circles (again)
One row: 4 circles
Total:
4
Tally for 4: |||| (just 4 lines — no group of 5 yet)
---
Now let’s put it all together in order:
Row 2: 7 → |||| ||
Row 3: 12 → |||| |||| ||
Row 4: 8 → |||| |||
Row 5: 6 → |||| |
Row 6: 10 → |||| ||||
Row 7: 4 → ||||
Final Answer:
7, 12, 8, 6, 10, 4
