Hello, Sixth Graders!
Analyzing Data with Stem and Leaf Plots
You can find a video here about stem and leaf plots, and written explanation here. Interactive practice can be found here - you'll answer questions and get feedback so you'll know if you are correct immediately.
You could also create your own stem and leaf plots using the ages of people in your home or the scores of favorite sports events. If you do this, take a picture and email it to. I'd love to see your work!
