Stem and Leaf Plot



http://www.eduplace.com/math/mhm/5/06a/index.html

A stem and leaf plot is a great way to show data. In this specific example, we look at the ages of people who attended a family reunion. Rather than just listing every single age (which would get monotonous) all you do is list the stem and then put the leafs that go with it. Here you can see that the stems with the most people present were the 0 (kids) and 30 year olds.
