This Grade 5 worksheet deepens skills with stem-and-leaf plots, frequency tables, and pictographs containing partial half symbols. Students order leaves on each row from smallest to largest, total frequencies for survey results, and decode half-symbols using the key carefully. The sheet helps Grade 5 learners verify totals, compare counts across categories, and recognize patterns that prepare them for more complex data displays in upcoming weeks.

Data Interpretation
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
Half of a pictograph symbol means zero of that item.
Rewrite: Half of a pictograph symbol means half the key value of that item.
2. Fix the sentence:
On a stem-and-leaf plot, leaves are listed in random order on each row.
Rewrite: On a stem-and-leaf plot, leaves are listed in increasing order on each row.
3. Fix the sentence:
A frequency table column labeled frequency shows the names of categories.
Rewrite: A frequency table column labeled frequency shows the count of each category.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If a pictograph key shows one apple equals 10 fruits, then 4 and a half apples equals 45 fruits.
2. A frequency table shows 8 cats, 6 dogs, and 4 birds; the total animals counted is 18.
3. On a stem-and-leaf plot with stem 4 and leaves 2, 5, 8, the largest value shown is 48.
4. If a tally chart has four full groups of five marks, the total count is 20.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. How do you find the smallest number on a stem-and-leaf plot?
Look at the row with the smallest stem, then take its smallest leaf, and combine them to read the lowest data value.
2. When would you choose a pictograph instead of a tally chart?
A pictograph works better for large counts because one symbol can stand for many items, making totals easier to read at a glance.
