Alphablocks (spin-off)
Numberjacks

Numberblocks is a British children's CGI-animated television series created by Joe Elliot and co-produced by Blue-Zoo and Alphablocks Ltd. for CBeebies. It debuted on CBeebies on 23 January 2017. It is produced by Blue-Zoo Productions and Alphablocks Ltd, the studios that also produce Alphablocks.[1] The show teaches children numeracy including simple arithmetic. In 2017, the show was nominated for a BAFTA award in the "Learning" category.[2]

Premise

Numberblocks follows the adventures of block characters in Numberland, with the number of blocks determining which numeral they stand for and a tiny black floating number above them to show how many blocks they are made of, which they call a Numberling. When one of the blocks hops on top of another, they transform into a different character to make a new number. The show helps toddlers and young kids learn numeracy skills, especially how to count and do simple maths. Integer concepts such as even vs. odd and factoring are discussed and explored. References to much more sophisticated ideas are also presented visually, usually without comment. Both the Pythagorean Theorem and the Fibonacci Sequence can be recognized by knowledgeable viewers.
