Stem and leaf graphs are used to organize and visualize large data sets. They involve recording numbers, sorting the tens digit into the first column, and then listing the ones digit in order from smallest to largest next to the corresponding tens digit. To read a stem and leaf graph, you read from left to right, where the tens digit is the stem and the ones digit is the leaf.

3. W.a.l.t
To be able to use a stem and leaf graph.

4. Why do use them
Stem and leaf graphs are used to decipher
large amounts of information and keep
things organized.

5. How To Create One
1. Record numbers
2. Sort the 10’s into the first column
3. Then put the ones in order from smallest to
largest next to them
