Tally marks in different cultures.

As someone who celebrates 100 days of school with her class every year. This is neat. I like the middle version of tally marks seems like a very simple way to group things in fives and tens in a more organized way. Probably handier to write out as well. I would much rather use the box method to write out 100. Lol

@shakemeup Do you use the method of bundling sticks into bundles of 10, until the magic day when it is finally time to make the super bundle of 10 bundles?

Very Interesting! The Chinese tally seems rather alien!

@4meAndyou Proof that the Chinese were visited by space aliens centuries ago!

@nedkelly I'm not so sure...

@4meAndyou There is actually a kind of a pattern. The successive strokes alternate between horizontal and vertical.

@DrWatson It's that little half vertical that's messing me up. 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou My guess is that it is to give balance to the overall figure at the end.
