How to use the contents page to research effectively

The table of contents lists the chapters and other main parts of the book.  It is helpful because it gives you a general idea about the book so you know which chapters apply to your research.  Below is an example from a book about the moon.

My maths activity

My learning intention was column addition. My activity was to work out problems by using the old fashion way. It was easy because I work better working out problems in this way. 

My name artwork

I am a seashell

Seaweed

I am seaweed dancing in the water.

I swim with everyone it is my passion.

I am green and sometimes people hate me.

I am curvy and light, I float like a boat.

I live in the water, but I get washed up to shore.

The ocean is my home. I love to play in the water.

I am dark and sometimes, I get lonely

The sea is where I eat, sleep and play with other seaweed

whenever I see someone coming I try to come out of the water.

Sometimes I get stuck at the bottom of the ocean.

I love being seaweed because I get to swim with other mammals and I get to play with people.

This is my cultural maths. We had to pick three languages and put them in a table which is 3x3. The first column was to be in english, the second column was our home language, then for our third column we got to pick any language we wanted to learn. So I wrote the numbers in English, Samoan, and in French. Also we had to add addition, subtraction, division and multiplication in the languages that we choose.
