The data is usually displayed in ascending order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_for_Making_Stem-and-Leaf_Plots\"><\/span>Steps for Making Stem-and-Leaf Plots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few simple steps to follow in order to create a stem-and-leaf plot.<\/p>\n<p>1. Begin by organizing your data in a table.<\/p>\n<p>2. Next, create a column for the leaves and a column for the stems.<\/p>\n<p>3. In the leaves column, list the data values in order from smallest to largest.<\/p>\n<p>4. In the stems column, list the corresponding stem values.<\/p>\n<p>5. Finally, create the stem-and-leaf plot by drawing a vertical line down the middle of the table and dividing it into two columns. The leaves column should be on the left and the stems column should be on the right.<\/p>\n<p>Then, draw a series of horizontal lines across the table. The first line should be just below the leaves column and the last line should be just above the stems column. Finally, draw a series of vertical lines to represent the stems.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_we_Have_to_Make_a_Stem_and_Leaf_Plot_for_Decimals\"><\/span>What if we Have to Make a Stem and Leaf Plot for Decimals?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have to make a stem and leaf plot for decimals, the stem would be the number of the decimal place and the leaf would be the actual decimal number. For example, if you were given the number .234, the stem would be 2 and the leaf would be 4.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activity_on_Stem_and_Leaf_Plot\"><\/span>Activity on Stem and Leaf Plot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the stem and leaf plot, the stem is the horizontal line and the leaves are the vertical lines. The numbers on the stem are the stems and the numbers on the leaves are the leaves. The leaves are sorted in ascending order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Know\"><\/span>Do You Know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first product to have a barcode was Wrigley\u2019s gum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Stem and Leaf Plots A stem and leaf plot is a graphical representation of a data set in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"Stem and Leaf Plots","_yoast_wpseo_title":"%%title%% %%page%%","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Learn about stem and leaf plots topic of maths in details explained by subject experts on infinitylearn.com","custom_permalink":"maths\/stem-and-leaf-plots\/"},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
