Lesson: Position, Displacement, and Distance Mathematics • Second Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to differentiate between position, displacement, and distance traveled, including problems that use vector notation.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

distinguish between distance traveled and displacement,
solve word problems involving the distance traveled and/or the displacement of a body,
find the distance covered and/or the displacement of a body from a given position vector.
