Exploring Stem and Leaf Plots in Upper Elementary Math

What is the primary purpose of a stem-and-leaf plot?

• To write extensive reports on data

• To predict future data trends

• To organize numerical data based on place value

• To calculate complex equations

What does the 'leaf' in a stem-and-leaf plot represent?

• A specific digit from the numbers being plotted

• The average value of the data

• The smallest value in the data set

• The highest value in the data set

Why is it important to order numbers from least to greatest in a stem-and-leaf plot?

• To comply with mathematical standards

• To ensure accuracy in data representation

• To make the plot aesthetically pleasing

• To simplify the calculation of mean
