Mr. Incredible, who is one of the movie’s protagonist, tries to help his son Dash with absolving his math homework. He says math is math in an agitated way, soon after they start the session.
This happens because, though he solves the equations, his son keeps mocking him for the reason he doesn’t use the methods that the school teaches to them.
