Stem and Leaf Plot – a visual way to display a large set of data Stem – largest place value(s) of a number Leaf – smallest place value of a number
Step 1: Find the least and the greatest number in the set of data. • 2 18 23 14 13 • 4 5 9 11 13 • 21 3 19 8 16 • 9 10 3 3 10 • 12 15 4 16 19
Step 2: Draw a vertical line between the digit in the smallest place value of the number and the other digits of the number. This gives the high and low for the range of the stems. least number 2 0 greatest number 2 3
Step 3: Make a chart with the titles STEM and LEAF. STEM LEAF
Step 4: Write the digits that form the stem in the STEM column. STEM LEAF 0 1 2
Step 5: Write the digits that form the leaf for each number in the LEAF column across from the STEM of the number. STEM LEAF 0 2 4 5 9 3 8 9 3 3 4 • 2 18 23 14 13 • 4 5 9 11 13 • 21 3 19 8 16 • 9 10 3 3 10 • 12 15 4 16 19 1 8 4 3 1 3 9 6 0 0 2 5 6 9 2 3 1
