Depends on the level of understanding (current and target), but the understanding derivatives of position relative to time helped me. Position->velocity->acceleration (and to a lesser extent, ->jerk) made intuitive sense based on physical experience that was helpful in a different way. If you’ve driven in a car, you’ve *felt* those.

It also gives you the opportunity to introduce the fun fact that the 4th, 5th, and 6th derivatives of position are snap, crackle, and pop. :-)
