Abstract:
A report on work that has been undertaken with stem-and-leaf plots and box plots. The report was supported with the representation of childrens' work. This presentation provides an excellent model of what could be achieved in statistical education. It shows how statistical concepts could be utilised to develop other significant mathematical ideas and, particularly through the childrens' work, indicates the high level of understanding and graphical comprehension that can be achieved.
