Math as a Verb 

When math learning goes beyond learning facts, figures, and applications; instead, math is humanized so that it is allowed to convey beauty, values, truth, justice, play, and love—when mathematical thinking is viewed as a way of life.
Teachers should present math as a verb, not as a noun—when students should be encouraged to be active players, not mere spectators.

Math Is a Verb 

When the world’s most disliked school subject is not a spectator but a player sport; when you need to do math rather than just read about it—the very reason why pop or general math books seldom help raise the mathematical or quantitative literacy of their armchair readers.
Recreationally speaking, math is a noun, but painfully or cognitively speaking, math is a verb—reading and understanding a math proof is one thing; guessing and checking and failing repeatedly and finally proving or solving a math problem is the actual thing.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
