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.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
