I introduced them this week to my students, and for the first time I think they understood it! I made a template of a stem and many leaves and told them to fill in any 1 number between 0-9. They cut them out and then we filled out a giant class-size stem and leaf plot. Then, I had them arrange their leaves into an order that made sense to them (smallest to largest won most of the time) and we discussed why that was. Then, we figured out the median in each of their stem/leaf sets and then as a class. The next day we reviewed it using magnetic numbers and they really seemed to understand. Yesterday they took a quiz on it and I only have 2 kids I need to review with!
