This document describes an activity where students will play a game called Taboo to learn key math terms related to graphing. It provides clues without using the key term to get students to write down the answer. Some of the key terms described include vertical, horizontal, x-axis, y-axis, and coordinate. The document tests students' understanding by having them plot points on graph axes and identify lines, and provides an extension task for higher-level students.

1. Entry Activity
We are going to pay a Key Words
game called Taboo. Co-ordinate,
Horizontal,
I am going to describe a Vertical,
key word (without using x axis,
y axis,
it) and you need to Equation
write down what it is!

2. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 1
• It is straight
• It is top to bottom
• It is vertical
• It is on all algebraic graphs
• It can go on forever if needed
• It is how we describe the line that goes on a graph
to show the scale

3. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 2
• It is has two values
• The values can be positive or negative
• It describes a position
• It is used when working on graphs
• It is used in everyday life when using maps
• It has a value of x and a value of y
• (x,y)

4. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 3
• It is across
• It is left to right
• It is the same direction as the x axis
• It is from the word horizon

5. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 4
• It is across
• It is left to right
• It is horizontal
• It is on all algebraic graphs
• It can go on forever if needed
• It is how we describe the line that goes on a graph
to show the scale

6. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 5
• It is straight
• It is how we describe the y axis
• It is the name of some blinds (that go on windows)
• It is up and down
• If we dropped a ball it is the way it would go

7. Get ready to write down your key word
Word number 6
• It has letters or symbols to represent unknown
numbers
• It and can have numbers in it
• It is how we write rules in Maths
• You can put different number in it
• It can have lots of different outcomes
• It can be used to describe a line

vertical and horizontal line graphs Level 5
Challenge Objective: Solve problems using
vertical and horizontal line graphs Level 5+
Key Words
Co-ordinate, Horizontal, Vertical, x axis, y
axis, Equation

10. •All will find the equation of
a horizontal straight line
•Most will find the equation
of a vertical straight line
•Some will solve problems
using the above

11. Plot the following points on the axes:
(5, 0) (5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4)
Join up the points with a straight line
(0, 4) (1, 4) (2, 4) (3, 4) (4, 4)
Join up the points with a straight line
