1. Stem and leaf plots

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Stem and leaf plot : A stem and leaf plot is a chart that splits each value into a stem and a leaf to show ordered data.
  • Stem : The stem is the part of each value used to group numbers that share the same leading digits.
  • Leaf : The leaf is the remaining digit(s) written on the same row to represent each data value.
  • Ordered leaves : Ordered leaves are written in increasing order within each stem row so the plot can be read quickly.

Essential Points

  • To find the data value, combine the stem and the leaf in the same row using place value.
  • Leaves are usually kept in ascending order so the plot reads left to right by size.
  • If a value like 37 is shown with stem 3, the leaf records the 7 on that row.
  • A stem can repeat across rows if the data need more than one row per stem value.

Memory Hook

Stem holds the tens, leaf holds the units.
