How many cubes? Tally Mark Grid EYFS/ Primary 1

In this activity, children count groups of cubes and record their totals using tally marks. This helps them make the connection between concrete objects and abstract recording methods, building a strong foundation in early maths.

The worksheet encourages children to:

Count accurately using cubes or visual representations
Learn how to record numbers using tally marks
Understand grouping in fives
Develop early recording and fine motor skills

Ideal for independent work, small groups, or maths centres, this resource provides a clear and structured way for children to practise counting and recording.

For repeated use, laminate the worksheet or place it in a plastic sleeve so children can complete it with whiteboard pens again and again.
