To attribute something to.
For example, if you hear a scary story, and later that night hear a scary sound outside, but don't believe it's a monster, you can chalk it up to coincidence and assume it's the trees moving in the wind, or a stray cat.
Most of the time when you hear this phrase, it will be "chalk it up to coincidence".
