Abstract
Past research has shown the benefits of increased engagement and collaboration for learning using multiple inputs for children sharing computers. Taking the work forth beyond clicks, we demonstrate the use of inexpensive numeric keypads as multiple input devices in shared computing scenarios, as many have argued are well-suited to the developing world, and show its utility in mathematical learning for young children.
