This video tutorial introduces fifth-grade students to data representation using dot plots and stem-and-leaf plots. It explains how to organize messy data into a dot plot by placing data points on a number line to identify patterns and trends. The tutorial also covers creating a stem-and-leaf plot, emphasizing the importance of the key for accurate interpretation. Finally, students are given a practice exercise to apply their learning by creating both types of plots from a set of exam scores.
