The British Broadcasting Channel’s kid show Numberblocks is earning a lot of kid fans worldwide for its fun approach to Math!
One of the first lessons we learn is our ABCs and 123s. And while there have been shows that teach and show these lessons, the educational world continues to evolve. The British Broadcasting Channel (BBC) has launched its latest educational show teaching kids numbers, colors, and letters. The kids learn the numbers through Numberblocks.
What is Numberblocks?
Numberblocks, according to its website is a “step-by-step learning journey grouped neatly into five color-coded levels.” Each level basically introduces a great number and sequences. Numberblocks uses visual teaching techniques aligned to the Early Year Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The people behind Numberblocks also work closely with the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics to make sure that in every episode, kids will have confidence and understanding in tackling Math ideas.
Who are the Numberblocks crew?
The Numberblocks crew is comprised of the basic numbers with their own distinct personalities. They are:
One is the smallest block and is described as “the bravest, has lots of ideas, and is always first to come up with a plan.”
Two is described as the friend always there for you. He also loves to dance.
