Numberblocks follows the adventures of sentient, colourful block characters in Numberland, each representing and named after a number, and made up of the equivalent number of blocks. A black floating number, called a Numberling, appears above their heads to show their value. When one block hops on top of another, they combine into a different character to make a new number. Many of the numbers have styles and personalities associated with their numbers (One is brave and independent, Four loves squares as he is a
square number, Seven is rainbow-coloured and lucky due to the superstition behind that number, Eight has octopus-like tentacles as octopuses have 8 tentacles, Eleven loves
football as a football team has 11 players, etc.). The show helps toddlers and young kids learn
numeracy skills, especially how to count and do simple maths. Integer concepts such as even and odd numbers, and factoring are discussed and explored. More sophisticated ideas are also explored in later episodes such as comparison, square numbers (thanks to Four), and
triangular numbers (known as "Step Squads" in the series) thanks to Fifteen, as well as counting using
binary numbers thanks to Sixty-Four's inventions. == Production ==
