Pascal programming is used to solve problems that are taught mathematics at high school students. This training has three major benefits, such as: 1) provide knowledge and experience to high school students against the pascal programming language so it can prepare for the competitions which are regularly held by the Government in the National Science Olympiad (OSN) or regional level are annually organized by the University of Udayana, 2) improving the understanding of the subject matter of Mathematics with pascal programming language approach. Programming languages train students to be able to think a structured and systematic. Therefore, if the students have been able to resolve the problem of Mathematics with the programming language, the students have really understood the problem-solving techniques in accordance with the material given topic. 3) Provide an alternative for different teaching techniques to the high school mathematics teacher in teaching programming language, where computer programming is very closely related to mathematics. Guidance is presented by the math teacher and 20 students. Training was done during 4 meetings where every meeting was held for 3 hours. Materials provided include informatics and basic programming logic to completion mathematic problems with computer programming using the Pascal programming language. Each meeting conducted tests that show the beginning and end student's ability to absorb the material. Post test results showed students were able to better understand the mathematical material after getting guidance in programming the computer according to the topics discussed.
