Personally, the nonverbal thing is the proper content of math—drawing (possibly mental) pictures to represent objects and their interactions. If I get stuck, I try doing simpler examples. If I’m still stuck, then I start writing things down verbally, mainly as a way to track down where I’m confused or where exactly I need to figure something out.
