A 2x2 grid meme featuring a repeated image of a woman with neutral to slightly disappointed facial expressions. The top text reads 'Parents when their children's IQ doesn't drastically increase once they turn 18'. Each quadrant of the grid overlays the woman's face with various math formulas, including circle area (A=πr²), cone volume (V=1/3πr²h), trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan for 30°/45°/60°), and calculus integrals (∫sinxdx=-cosx+C).

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top of the image has text that reads 'math teachers when they can no longer use the ol' reliable "You won't always have a calculator in your pocket" response'.
