Kevin struggles with math class in season 3 episode 2 of The Wonder Years. As the school year begins, Kevin starts off on the wrong foot with math by sleeping through his first class. His new teacher, Mr. Dimitri, gives the class a pop quiz on the second day, and Kevin's poor performance alerts him to the fact that he needs to buckle down.

Kevin's math struggles are complicated by the fact that he has his eye on a girl in the class named Connie, which he hopes will be a distraction from his difficulties. Connie, however, is not interested in Kevin and is focused on her studies instead. Kevin's attempts to impress her only seem to make things worse, and he begins to feel like he's fallen further behind in math than ever before.

At home, Kevin's math troubles are a source of tension with his father, Jack, who is a successful businessman and proud of his own mathematical abilities. Jack attempts to help Kevin with his homework but quickly becomes frustrated with his son's lack of progress. Kevin feels guilty for disappointing his father and begins to doubt his own abilities even more.

As the weeks go on, Kevin's math grades continue to slip, and he becomes desperate to turn things around. He seeks out help from a number of sources, including his friend Paul, who is a math whiz, and an older student named Eddie, who offers to tutor him for a fee. Kevin also turns to his mother, Norma, for support, but she is too busy with her own life to give him the attention he needs.

Despite his efforts, Kevin's math grades don't improve, and he comes to the realization that he may need to accept a lower grade in the class. Connie, however, reminds him of the importance of not giving up and encourages him to keep trying. With her encouragement, Kevin redoubles his efforts and begins to make progress in math.

In the end, Kevin realizes that he may not be a mathematical genius like his father, but that he is capable of learning and improving with hard work and determination. His struggles with math have taught him an important lesson about perseverance and the importance of staying focused on his goals.
