Learning in the Library

After selecting new books during their weekly library visit, Miss Mallon’s second graders conducted surveys about popular

book series.  First students selected graphs, each listing two different book series. Next they asked their peers which series they liked better. After obtaining eight or more opinions, the students interpreted their graphs.  Here are the results:

• More people like I Spy books more than Where’s Waldo? books.
• More people prefer Mr. Putter and Tabby books to Rainbow Magic books.
• More people chose Amelia Bedelia than Frog and Toad books.
• Pigeon books are more popular than Black Lagoon books in Miss Mallon’s class.
• In Miss Mallon’s class, Star Wars books are more popular than Bone books.
• On one survey more people selected Ivy+Bean books over Junie B. Jones books, but when different people were polled, the results were the opposite!

Mrs. Sturtevant’s students conducted surveys during their book visit, too.  Here are their results:

• Like Miss Mallon’s class, most students prefer I Spy books to Where’s Waldo? books.
• More students like Mr. Putter and Tabby books than Rainbow Magic books.
• The Pigeon books are more popular than the Black Lagoon books.
• Star Wars books are more popular than Bone books.
• Unlike Miss Mallon’s class, more students in Mrs. Sturtevant’s class say they like Frog and Toad books better than Amelia Bedelia books.
• More students chose Junie B. Jones books than Ivy + Bean books.
• More students like Henry and Mudge books better than Max and Ruby books.
• Arthur books are more popular than Biscuit books.
