Pick a random number from 1 to 10 with a fair draw. No repeats is on, so each number comes up once until all ten have been used.

How to use it

  1. The range is already set from 1 to 10. Press Hold to roll or the Space bar, and let go to land on a number.
  2. No repeats is on, so each number comes up once until all have been used. Untick it to allow repeats.
  3. For another range, type the lowest and highest numbers in the boxes, or open the full random number generator for odd, even, multiples and more.

Ideas for class

  • Play number bonds to 10: draw a number and ask the class what to add to make 10, then draw again for a new partner.
  • Draw a number and count on from it, or count back to 0, as a warm-up that takes one minute at the start of a maths lesson.
  • Use the ten numbers to run turns: write a number on each child's name card and draw to see who answers the next question.
  • Show a ten frame on the board, draw a number and ask children to say how many dots are filled and how many are empty.

Questions

How do I pick a number from 1 to 10 that has not been picked yet?

No repeats is already on for this page, so each number comes up once before any repeat. The board shows which have gone, and Reset puts all ten back in the draw.

Can I leave out a number, such as 7?

Yes. Type 7 in the Leave out box and it is never drawn. You can also tap a number on the board to mark it away for today, which is useful when a child is absent.

Can it read each number aloud?

Yes. Tick Read each number aloud, or press S. It uses the voice built into your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere, and you can press M to mute the click sounds.
