I suggest Project Euler http://projecteuler.net/ http://projecteuler.net/. There are a series of (interesting?) problems to solve that will require you to learn a little math and a little programming. For me, the hardest part of Math is the Byzantine formula. My brain just doesn't look at them and go "oh, that's how it works." Instead, I need to translate that into some nice executable code (Python, etc). I stumbled through Calculus not really getting what it was about. Physics on the other hand, was real world, here is the formula; here is how to apply it. That made it click for me. TL;DR: Physics and Project Euler.

I can see stuff in physics and I intuitively know what is going to happen when I take a metallic hollow piston with air inside of it and place it partially in a magnetic field. It's observation of Solenoids and other stuff that allows me to do that, but I really couldn't do the same with math, and now I am trying to do that.
