The problem is that most people don't really learn much math at school. Most people will learn to add , subtract and do multiplication, some will even cram their brains with equations to pass a math exam and then promptly forget it all afterwards.

Programming provides a practical hands on may to introduce logical problem solving. It's something that could be used to supplement Math class.

I find it much easier to understand Mathematical stuff if I have written a program that implements it.

You have practical experiments in physics and chemistry but most people don't seem to remember much of them either.
