Stem & Leaf Plots

[SOL 5.16]

Essential Skills

The student will use problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, connections, and representations to

  • Collect data, using observations (e.g., weather), measurement (e.g., shoe sizes), surveys (e.g., hours watching television), or experiments (e.g., plant growth). (a)

  • Organize the data into a chart or table. (a)

  • Represent data in a line plot. Line plots will have no more than 30 data points. (a)

  • Represent data in a stem-and-leaf plot where the stem is listed in ascending order and the leaves are in ascending order, with or without commas between leaves. Stem-andleaf plots will be limited to no more than 30 data points. (a)

  • Title the given graph or identify an appropriate title. (a)

  • Interpret data by making observations from line plots and stem-and-leaf plots, describing the characteristics of the data and describing the data as a whole. One set of data will be represented on a graph. (b)

  • Interpret data by making inferences from line plots and stemand-leaf plots. (b)

  • Compare data represented in a line plot with the same data represented in a stem-and-leaf plot. (c)
