Math is a difficult subject for many people, but one teacher in North Carolina is making it a little bit more fun.

Nick Sabesta thought it would be a good idea to incorporate into his class what has become a popular saying not only in NBA circles, but around all walks of life.

He's been telling his students to “trust the process,” the phrase popularized by former Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkie, and adopted by 76ers star Joel Embiid.

The kids loved it so much, apparently, they decided it would be a great idea to have the phrase in front of them during a math test. Sabesta, the prescient teacher that he is, made it happen in the most fun way possible.

Embiid loves that phrase so much he made it his nickname. The entire NBA has taken to it, and 76ers fans love to chant it when Embiid is having a strong game, which is often.

The question now is whether or not Embiid believes in the mathematical process. Was he a good math student? Was he bad? It's difficult to imagine him being bad at anything, really.

This teacher clearly made the days of his students, even though the Embiid GIF had to be enjoyed during a time most students would have a bad case of anxiety. Hopefully the gesture helped some of those kids get better grades on their tests.
