Random number wheel, 1 to 10 v0.2.0

Tap, flick or press Space

10 entries

Hide a note behind a slice with a bar: cat | a small furry pet. It shows after the spin. Start a line with an emoji to draw it big. Two columns pasted from a spreadsheet work too.

After a spin

Anyone can come up again. Repeats are fine.

Who's away today?

Tap anyone who is away. Their slice is hatched and skipped today only; at midnight they are back. Nobody is deleted.

Drag the wheel round and let go to flick it. Your flick sets the show. The draw is already fair: your browser's secure random generator picks the winner before the wheel moves.

The contents travel inside the link after the # sign, which browsers never send to any server. Anyone you give the link to can read them.

Space spin, or stop sooner · R new round · M sound on or off · F full screen · Esc leave it

Your edits are saved in this browser only, and never sent anywhere. Turns and away marks never go into a link.

A number wheel with the numbers 1 to 10: spin it for counting, number bonds and quick turns, with big slices that little ones can read from their seats.

How to use it

  1. The wheel already holds 10 entries for “Number wheel 1–10”. Edit, add or delete lines in the box and it redraws; your changes stay in this browser.
  2. Tap the wheel, press Space, or drag it and let go to flick it. The winner is drawn first with your browser's secure random generator; the pegs, the clicks and the big reveal only show it.
  3. Choose Fade the winner or Remove the winner to use every entry once, or Keep everyone in for repeats. “Original list” brings back the starting entries, and Print makes a paper spinner of the list.

Ideas for class

  • Spin for a number and have the class count on from it to 20, whispering the numbers and shouting the last one together.
  • Practise number bonds to 10: spin, then ask for the number that goes with it to make 10, and spin again for a new partner.
  • Spin a number and ask children to show it with their fingers, then with objects on the desk, then by drawing dots.
  • Choose how many things to find on a quiet nature walk or a classroom hunt, from one thing to ten.
  • Use a spin as a movement cue: wiggle, jump or tiptoe that many times before the next child spins the wheel.

Questions

Why does the wheel show only ten numbers?

Ten slices are large and easy to read from the back of a room, which suits young children who are still learning their numerals. For a bigger range, use the 1 to 20 or 1 to 50 wheels.

Can children use the wheel themselves?

Yes. Tap the wheel, press Space, or drag it and let go. The result is chosen first with your browser's secure random generator, so a gentle flick and a hard one are equally fair.

How do I make sure each number comes up only once?

Choose Fade the winner or Remove the winner below the wheel. Each number then drops out after it is picked, and Original list brings all ten numbers back when you want to start again.
