Utilizing Sprego and Sprego contents

Published: 13 October 2016 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we detail how Sprego can be adapted both in mathematics and other school subjects. Sprego is a programming approach in spreadsheet environments, which utilizes the concept of function developed in mathematics classes. Sprego also offers an opportunity to practice and develop knowledge in the subjects of n-ary and composite functions, which are currently considered high level mathematics. Beyond the obvious connection between Sprego and mathematics, the authentic-table-concept of Sprego provides other subjects with a simple programming environment for data retrieval.
