Today in math class we worked on a page in our journals. Right now we are working on isometry, which is keeping a shape the same shape and size but moving it. There are three different moves- translation, rotation, and reflection.A translation iswhen you move a shape over and up. A rotation is when you rotate a shape by a degree.And last but not least, a reflection is when you reflect the shape over either the X or the Y axis.

Today in social studies we worked on a physical map of China, Mongolia, and Taiwan. We had to use our text book and atlas to plot the capitals of each country,some major cities from each country, the mountains in each one, the deserts and rivers, and the seas that border the country. There was also one more thing on our list that was under the  “other” category, this was the Plateau of Tibet.
