Create a Stem and Leaf!


Computer Lab:  November 3, 2011:  Pokemon Steam and Leaf Assignment


Today in computer lab we will be creating a steam leaf plot based on the Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion sets. There have been many sets of expansion cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game. The first expansion "Jungle" came out in 1999...that's before you were all born. An article detailing these card sets can be found here.

Today you'll be using the following website to create a stem and leaf plot of the number of cards in various Pokem Trading Card Game Expansion sets.  Don't use the "base sets", just expansion sets.  You can include as much data as you want...there are plenty of expansions sets to use.  If you just want to do third generation up for example, you can do that.  Or you can try to include EVERY expansion set, you know, if you gotta catch'em all.

Stem and Leaf Plot can be made here.

We'll go over how to use it in class.  Each group will be responsible for printing one stem and leaf plot today.  Each plot must have a properly worded title.  The title should be representative of what information is in the plot.  If you only detailed third and fourth generation expansions, make sure you say so.  Don't just call it "stem and leaf plot".  I can see that from looking at it, I want to know what the data I'm looking at is, even if I didn't know what the assignment was.

Try to include as much data in your stem and leaf plot as you can.  When it is finished, print it out and include your name and your partner's name on the sheet and turn it in.  Include the date as well.
