Morning mental maths
Two dice, an operation announced, and the whole class works on the same roll. Nobody can copy a result, since the number comes out after the instruction.
Dice, rolled large in front of the class
A die lost under a table, a die that falls on the floor, a die only the front row can read: rolling on the board settles all three. One die free, up to six with Kliip Premium, the total worked out, and everyone reads the same result.

This is not a screenshot: it is the tool itself, the one your class will see on the board.
Number of dice
How it works
-
How many dice?
A selector goes from one to six. The dice appear side by side with their pips drawn, not written as digits — it reads like a real die, including for students who still count the dots.
-
The total is worked out
As soon as more than one die is rolled, the sum appears underneath. It doubles as a class check: everyone adds up in their head, then compares.
-
Roll again with nothing to reset
One button rolls again immediately, with the same number of dice. There is nothing to clear between two rolls.
When it really earns its place
Board games in class
When one game has to go round the whole class, a projected die moves everyone at once — and it does not roll under the radiator.
Making a rule out of chance
How many sentences to write, which line to read, how many jumps to do: a die turns an arbitrary instruction into a rule of the game that nobody argues with.
What it does, and what it does not
These are six-sided dice, and only that. For a number between bounds of your own choosing, or several values with no repeats, the number generator is the tool to open.
Each roll is independent of the last: a die has no memory, here as on a table. The same number three times running does happen, and it is normal.
The rolling sound follows the portal’s “Sounds” setting. If you have turned it off, the dice roll silently.
Frequently asked questions
How many dice can be rolled at once?
One to six. Beyond that, reading the pips from a distance gets hard, and that is exactly what the tool has to guarantee — a die nobody can read from the back of the room is no use.
Can I have twenty-sided dice?
No, the faces run from one to six. To draw a number from a wider range, the number generator does exactly that, with the minimum and maximum you choose.
Is the total shown automatically?
Yes, as soon as there is more than one die. That is what makes it usable as an exercise: students add up, then check against the screen.
Are the dice really random?
Every face has the same chance on every roll, and rolls are independent of each other. No correction is applied to “balance” the results over time.
