Anyone who likes math/problem solving should take a look at Project Euler. Pretty much it is writing programs to solve problems that would be impossible to do on paper. It starts off fairly simple but after you get through the first few problems it takes a bit of time to find the solution.

Even if you're not the type to enjoy these kinds of problems it's good practice. Once you submit a correct answer they provide you with their own solution which a lot of the time involves a better approach.

Let me guess, you looked ahead to the last few problems. There are some very difficult problems there, but it is something you work up to. Most of them don't require much math at all. For example, the first one only requires that you know how to use a loop and the modulus operator ( % ).
