When you count votes, runs or birds, draw one stick for each. The fifth stick goes across the other four like a gate: 卌. Gates of five are quick to count — 5, 10, 15, 20 … — and then you add the single sticks.
✓ You passed this trick’s test.
Count the gates — “every gate 卌 is 5; count the gates in fives, then add the single sticks”
Use it for: Class votes, cricket scores, counting birds or cars, and reading tally charts in school data handling.
Check: 3 × 5 + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17 ✓
