TEKS 5.9A: Represent Data with Graphs and Tables
Represent Data on a Stem and Leaf Plot
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can represent data on a stem-and-leaf plot.
Focuses On:
- examining the different parts of a stem-and-leaf plot
- organizing information into stems and leaves
- creating stem-and-leaf plots to represent a set of data
- analyzing data
Builds On:
4.9B:
Solve one‐ and two‐step problems using data in whole number,
decimal, and fraction form in a frequency table, dot plot, or stem‐
and‐leaf plot
Next Level:
6.13A:
Interpret numeric data summarized in dot plots, stem‐and‐leaf
plots, histograms, and box plots

This lesson is design to support student understanding of how to represent numerical data on a stem-and-leaf plot.
The lesson begins by giving an overview of what a stem-and-leaf plot is and how it is used to represent a numerical data set. Students practice putting information into stem-and-leaf plots with attention given to putting the data in order and creating a key. Students practice analyzing data once it is organized into a stem-and-leaf plot.
Grade 5MathTEKS 5.9ARepresent Data on a Dot Plot
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can represent numeric data using a dot plot.
Focuses On:
- organizing number lines by creating appropriate intervals for a given data set
- understanding when a dot plot be used to represent numeric data
- analyzing data in dot plots
Builds On:
4.9B:
Solve one‐ and two‐step problems using data in whole number, decimal, and fraction form in a frequency table, dot plot, or stem‐and‐leaf plot
Next Level:
6.13A:
Interpret numeric data summarized in dot plots, stem‐and‐leaf plots, histograms, and box plots

This lesson is design to support student understanding of how to represent data on a dot plot.
The lesson begins by giving an overview of what a dot plot is and how it is used to represent numeric data. Students practice setting up number lines by looking at data sets and determining the intervals for the number line. Students then plot data on the dot plots and analyze the data in a given problem.
Grade 5MathTEKS 5.9ARepresent Data on a Frequency Table
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can represent categorical data on a frequency table.
Focuses On:
- determining the number of tally marks when given the frequency
- determining the frequency when given tally marks
- interpreting data represented in the table
Builds On:
4.9B:
Solve one‐ and two‐step problems using data in whole number, decimal, and fraction form in a frequency table, dot plot, or stem‐and‐leaf plot
Next Level:
6.13A:
Interpret numeric data summarized in dot plots, stem‐and‐leaf plots, histograms, and box plots

This lesson is design to support student understanding of how to represent data on a frequency table.
The lesson begins by giving an overview of how a frequency table is organized including how tally marks are used to keep track of the data. Students practice converting the frequency to tally marks and the tally marks to frequency. Students are then asked to interpret the data represented in the frequency table.
Grade 5MathTEKS 5.9ARepresent Data on a Bar Graph
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can represent categorical data on bar graphs.
Focuses On:
- creating a scale on the y-axis that matches the data set
- precisely drawing bars that match the frequency of a given category.
Builds On:
4.9B:
Solve one‐ and two‐step problems using data in whole number, decimal, and fraction form in a frequency table, dot plot, or stem‐and‐leaf plot
Next Level:
6.13A:
Interpret numeric data summarized in dot plots, stem‐and‐leaf plots, histograms, and box plots

This lesson is design to support student understanding of how to represent data on a bar graph.
The lesson begins by giving an overview of how a bar graph is set up to represent categorical data. Special attention is given to familiarizing students with important aspects of the bar graph such as how to create the scale on the y-axis. Students will practice creating bars with an eye on precision in order to ensure that the bars match the frequency of each category.
