There are two short math scenes in that movie. By the way, a movie which is highly recommended.
One knows Seann William Scott of course from movies like American Pie (Stiffler),
Oldschool (a very short scene as a farmer with the tranquelizer gun)
or the MTV music awards (the spoof of the matrix is great, a shitload of stifflers).
Here, in this a bit darker but uplifting commedy, he brings a great performance,
similarly than Steve Carell's great performance in Little Miss Sunshine as one
associated Carell of course with the ``Office". The math scene which appears in
"Just before I go" is a flashback. Obviously the scene is highly staged. Different kids
have books from different areas (there appears to be a greek history book on the table).
The math problems given as homework (problems 1-12) on the green board
are hilariously un-imaginitive.
