Thats true, seems like that is what algebra books try to do when covering topics like factoring. You learn to factor and then, later on, you use factoring to solve a bigger problem. You could teach in small chunks and work up to big chunks in order to illustrate to the student how the smaller chunks make up the whole, instead of starting with the whole and making little chunks out of it. It could make the process of learning to code less daunting.
