Numberblocks is a step-by-step learning journey grouped neatly into five colour-coded levels. Each level introduces ever greater numbers and a sequence of key topics and skills that help your child build natural number sense and a solid foundation of mathematical understanding.
Numberblocks uses best-practice visual teaching techniques aligned to the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework and KS1 curriculum, and mathematics curricula from around the world. We work closely with the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics) to ensure that every episode contributes to a confident and rounded understanding of essential mathematical ideas.
Level 1 introduces the first five numbers and foundation skills including counting, recognising amounts on sight, comparing and sorting numbers and simple addition and subtraction.
Level 2 takes us up to ten, developing the foundation skills and introducing number bonds, odds and evens, square numbers, number patterns, shapes and more.
Level 3 takes us past ten with numbers who discover place value, doubling and halving, multiplication, division, factors and new number patterns.
Level 4 helps children become number explorers, discovering how the number system works and developing all their skills with two-digit numbers.
Level 5 builds confidence in working and playing with numbers up to 100 and offers a sneak peak of how much bigger numbers work.
Have you met the Numberblocks? These super-friendly characters are made of blocks, which makes it easy to see what their number means. Their personalities are based on their numbers. And when One hops on top of Two, they turn into Three − that's number magic.
Maths is easy when you can see how it works. By keeping it all visual and animating the big ideas, Numberblocks guarantees the eureka moments keep popping.
Numberblock One is the first little block that ever there was.
She’s the smallest and the bravest, has lots of ideas and is always first to come up with a plan.
Numberblock One is bright red and has one block and one big round eye.
Numberblock Two is always there when
you need a friend, and together, the two of you can do anything!
He’s very proud of his magic dancing shoes and he loves to dance with a one-two, one two.... Numberblock Two is orange and has two blocks and two sparkly shoes.
Le Numberblock Trois est une vraie bête de scène, ne ratant jamais une occasion de jongler, de se donner en spectacle, de raconter des histoires, de faire des tours de magie ou d'amuser la galerie avec ses « 1, 2, 3, regardez-moi ! »
De couleur jaune vif, elle a trois blocs, possède trois balles de jonglage et est coiffée d'un chapeau à trois pointes.
Numberblock Four is the friendly block who’s solid as a rock.He’s always ready to help, he loves to laugh and he is very, very excited to be a square.
Numberblock Four is green and has four blocks, four sides, four corners and four square eyebrows.
Le Numberblock Cinq a tout d'une star, c'est d'ailleurs elle qui mène la bande.
Adepte des « Tope là ! », elle a toujours un petit mot d'encouragement pour ses amis. Son petit plaisir : compter sur ses doigts jusqu'à cinq. De couleur bleue, Cinq arbore cinq blocs, un œil en forme d'étoile à cinq branches et une grosse main dotée de cinq doigts.
Numberblock Six loves to roll her magic dice and get everyone playing games.
She lives to rhyme and she’s pretty handy too – she can split into Ones, Twos, Threes or one of each.
Numberblock Six is indigo and has six spots, like her favourite side of the dice.
Lucky number Seven was hit by a rainbow and turned all seven colours.
Somehow, everything just falls into place and turns out nicely when he’s around. How lucky is that!
Numberblock Seven has seven rainbow-coloured blocks and seven rainbow stripes on the top of his head.
Numberblock Eight is known by his superhero name: Octoblock.
He’s got eight arms (or are they legs?) and when he needs to run fast, swim a long way, climb up high, knit in a hurry or more he changes shape to activate a unique special power each time:
Octoblock Run! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 Run!…
Numberblock Eight has eight pink blocks, eight tentacles and eight points on his superhero mask.
Numberblock Nine is a square like Four but bigger and stronger.
He often gets a tickly nose, and if he doesn’t get to a hankie in time, his middle block shoots out in a giant sneeze. So he has nine hankies, just in case.
Numberblock Nine has three rows of three blocks in three shades of grey.
Numberblock Ten is simply amazing. She’s got two numberlings, a 1 and a 0.
She’s got two starry eyes with ten points and two big hands so she can count to ten on her fingers. And she can turn into a rocket and blast off into space by counting down from 10.
Numberblock Ten is white with red edges.
