what it is.
The show.
A BBC educational animated series in which characters shaped like numbered blocks discover mathematical concepts through their adventures and interactions. Each character represents a number and can combine, split, and rearrange. Aimed at ages 3–6.
our take
“Numberblocks teaches genuine math concepts in a creative way, and many children develop real number sense from watching it. It earns an F on our rubric because the visual style involves rapid transformations, flashing block arrangements, and quick transitions that score poorly on attention quality. The abstract character design also limits social-emotional and language development.”
