Stem and Leaf Diagrams for GCSE Maths: Explanation, Examples and Questions

Stem and leaf diagrams are a way of organising numerical data to make it easier to read and interpret.

At GCSE level, students learn how to create and interpret stem and leaf diagrams, as well as how to use them to find the median, mode, range, and mean of data sets.

Although they are quite simple, it's important to take care when completing and using stem and leaf plots, especially with decimal numbers, to avoid mistakes.

The rest of the lesson is not quite ready, but if you already know what you're doing, we have practice questions linked below.
