Stem-and-Leaf Plot


Uses place value to organize data



Shows data in an organized way so it
can be analyzed easily



Organizes data so it is easier to find
the median, mode, and range
Here are the scores for a
freshman basketball team



Here is the same data organized into a
stem-and-leaf plot.
Can you tell how the
stem-and-leaf plot was made?

The first number
in the data is 27.
Here is the 2 in
the tens place.

Here is the 7 in
the ones place.
The key shows us
which place value
the digits represent.
The stems all
represent tens
place in this
stem-and-leaf
plot.

The leaves all
represent ones.
Let’s
try one
together…
Here are one student’s math test scores.
Make a stem-and-leaf plot for this data.

First, draw
the dividing
lines.
Here are one student’s math test scores.
Make a stem-and-leaf plot for this data.

Stems

Next, label
the stem side
and the leaf
side.

Leaves
Here are one student’s math test scores.
Make a stem-and-leaf plot for this data.

7 5

Find the
smallest
piece of data
and plot it on
the grid.
Here are one student’s math test scores.
Make a stem-and-leaf plot for this data.

Stems Leaves
7 5 9
Find the next
smallest
piece of data
and plot it on
the grid.

The 7 for the tens
place is already
there. We just
add the 9.
Continue with this process until
you have entered all the data.

You just
completed a
stem-and-leaf plot!
Now, try it
on your own…
This table shows the times in seconds and
hundredths of seconds for the women’s
500-meter speed-skating competition in
the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Use this data to make a stem-and-leaf plot.
