I remember sitting at our old dining table, wrestling with numbers that seemed to dance just out of reach—enough to make anyone break into tears. But here’s the kicker: after years of head-scratching and patient nudges from my dad and a stellar algebra teacher, math went from my frenemy to, believe it or not, a trusty sidekick. Sure, I’m not running mental long divisions at the grocery store—but a little number sense goes a long way, right? Still, not everybody’s got that golden ticket, and the internet’s merciless when it comes to math fails. Lucky for us, there’s a goldmine of hilariously confident miscalculations over at the “They Didn’t Do The Math” subreddit.

I had a love/hate relationship with math growing up. I remember several particularly painful evenings in middle school, sitting at my family’s dining room table, crying over my math homework because I could not comprehend it.
Thanks to the immense patience shown by my father and my algebra teacher, I learned to appreciate math by the time I made it to high school. Its logic is comforting, and it makes sense (for the most part). Plus, I finally started to understand how useful it would become for the rest of my life. And while most of us don’t need to know how to do long division in our heads, a basic understanding of math can make our lives much easier. And let’s not forget math memes have made dealing with math challenges a little more fun!
