Displacement Versus Distance Traveled

An animated number line shows a student walking forward and then partway back, tracking both the total path length (distance) and the straight-line change in position (displacement). A worked example calculates each value step by step, highlighting why displacement can be smaller than distance or even zero. The animation ends with a practice question asking viewers to find displacement for a new path, reinforcing the concept for Grade 7 students learning motion basics.
