Grid Glide at London Underground

Graphing & Coordinate Grids Adventure Pack

Deep beneath the streets of London, the Underground map system is glitching. Train routes are misplotted. Coordinates are scrambled. Stations are appearing in the wrong locations. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the coordinate grid network. If explorers cannot restore the axes and plot points correctly, the entire transit system could fall into chaos.

In Grid Glide at London Underground, students board the Tube Tunnel Tram and enter a high-stakes graphing mission. To bring the system back online, explorers must understand the grid, identify the x and y axes, locate the origin, and work with coordinate pairs. By plotting points, reading coordinates, and navigating the first quadrant, students restore order to the underground map.

This adventure blends foundational graphing skills with spatial reasoning and problem-solving.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Grid Glide at London Underground Adventure Pack explores core Graphing & Coordinate Grid concepts, including:

• Grid – A network of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines
• Axis – A reference line used to measure position on a graph
• Origin – The point where the x-axis and y-axis meet
• Coordinate Pair – Two numbers that show a point’s location on a grid
• X Coordinate – The first number in a coordinate pair, showing horizontal position
• Y Coordinate – The second number in a coordinate pair, showing vertical position
• Plot Points – Placing points on a grid using coordinate pairs
• Read Coordinates – Identifying the location of a point on a grid
• First Quadrant – The top-right section of a coordinate plane

Each concept appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing graphing understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
