Number Wheel 1 to 30
Sometimes you just need a fair random number: which question to answer first, which page of the book to start on, or the target for a maths game. This wheel holds the numbers 1 to 30, and every number has exactly the same chance. Early learners can count on from the number, find it on a hundred square or say one more and one less. Older students can decide whether it is odd or even, prime or not, or write it as a sum of two other numbers. Edit the entries to change the range, or take numbers off as they're used for a fair question order.
How to use it
- The wheel is ready with 30 entries. Press Spin, click the wheel or press Space, and the result appears in the middle.
- Open Edit entries to change the list for your class, or press Use my class instead to spin your students' names.
- Press Present (or F) to show just the wheel on the board. Turn on Take winners off the wheel in Settings if you don't want repeats.
Ways to use it in class
- Number of the day: spin, then ask for one more, one less, double it and a fact about it.
- Fair question order: number your worksheet questions and take each one off the wheel as it's answered.
- Target game: spin twice and challenge students to reach the second number from the first in three steps.

Questions teachers ask
Can I change what's on the wheel?
Yes. Open Edit entries to add, remove or reword anything, one entry per line. Your changes last until you leave the page, and Restore brings back the original list.
Can I spin my students' names instead?
Yes. Press Use my class instead to swap the entries for your saved class, with absent students left off. Press the back button in the same place to return to this wheel's entries.
Is every entry equally likely?
Yes. The result is chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator before the wheel moves, and every slice has the same chance. Turn on Take winners off the wheel in Settings to avoid repeats.
Will ads show on my projector?
No. Press Present (or F) and the screen shows only the wheel and the Spin button, in large type for the back of the room.
