Stem and Leaf Plot Examples


Video lessons, examples and solutions to help Grade 6 students learn how to make and use stem and leaf plots.





A Stem and Leaf Plot shows visually the distribution of data, while also showing the value of the numbers. It is a method of representing numerical data. The leading values become the stems and the trailing values the leaves. For example, if the data is between 1 and 99 then we can separate each number into its ten-digit (stem) and its unit-digit (leaf) and then arrange the data in ascending order of the ten-digits.

This video gives a brief description of Stem and Leaf Plot and demonstrates how to create and read a stem-and-leaf plot and also how to use it to find Median, Range and Quartiles.
