MA31-03

This lesson is coming soon.

In this lesson

Draw an ordered stem-and-leaf diagram with a key from a raw list of data, and read values back off a given stem-and-leaf diagram.

What it covers

  • Splitting each raw data value into a stem (leading digit(s)) and a leaf (final digit) consistently across a whole data set
  • Ordering the leaves within each stem row from smallest to largest before finishing the diagram
  • Writing a key that states exactly what one stem-leaf pair represents
  • Reading a value, or a simple count of values in a range, directly off a completed stem-and-leaf diagram

For teachers

This GCSE Maths lesson teaches stem-and-leaf diagrams. By the end, students should be able to draw an ordered stem-and-leaf diagram with a key from a raw list of data, and read values back off a given stem-and-leaf diagram. It works through two worked examples and the mistakes examiners report.
