A random number from 1 to 6 works like a number cube that cannot roll off the desk. Press the button and the reels land on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

How to use it

  1. The range is already set from 1 to 6. Press Hold to roll or the Space bar, and let go to land on a number.
  2. The same number can come up again. Tick No repeats to use each number once.
  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

  • Use the draw as a cube for a board game when the real one has gone missing, and keep the game moving with no hunt under the furniture.
  • Play roll and write: draw a number from 1 to 6, then write a sentence with that many words or draw that many objects.
  • Draw six times with No repeats on to see every number once, then talk about why a real cube can show the same number twice.
  • Practise number sense by drawing two numbers and asking children to add them, find the difference or make a number sentence.

Questions

Is there a dice roller with dots on the faces?

Yes. The dice roller on this site shows real faces with dots, rolls up to six dice at once and can use other kinds too. This page is the quick choice when you only need the number.

Is it as fair as a real number cube?

Yes, and often fairer. Each number from 1 to 6 has the same chance on every draw, taken from your browser's secure random generator, and a worn cube can have a bias.

Can I draw two numbers at once?

Yes. Set How many to 2 and press the button. Tick No repeats if you want two different numbers, or leave it off to allow the same number twice, as with two cubes.
