Gord,

Tally marks are a quick way of keeping track of numbers in groups of five.
One vertical line is made for each of the first four numbers; the fifth
number is represented by a diagonal line across the previous four.

See http://www.enchantedlearning.com/math/tally/

You mean like a checkmark?

Format the cells to Marlett Font then type an "a" without quotes.
