Numberblocks

My about to turn 5 yr old is adding, subtracting and even doing simple multiplication. She loves numbers and really learned a lot from this show.

So I have a 5 year and a 2 year old. My eldest has watched this since he was 3 and he's now literally a maths whizz! He just gets numbers in a way me or my wife never did. He knows his square numbers up 20... and pictures them as squares... obvious maybe to us now as adults but I don't ever remember being taught in that way. He understands odds and even numbers, odds having an 'odd top' when arranged in a column of 2 wide. He gets prime numbers, and is able to tell me the prime numbers up to 109. He impressed the head of the school when they were singing "The 12 days of Christmas" she had asked what all the gifts added together would make (I'm pretty sure she wasn't serious) but my son imagined a large step shape and answered "78!". She was blown away!

So in no way is this show "dumbing down" kids tv content. That's a totally ridiculous comment. It's made my kids smarter than they would be without it- it's better then watching about dinosaurs or lego!

Oh and because of this show my 2 year old knows his 2,3,4,5 and 10 times tables. It's actually insane. Love this show.

My nephew used to use my Netflix for fun..one time his mother asked him few questions of maths for fun and to all ou suprise he was just too much for us to handle

He could multiply 25*25 divide numbers knew all tables could do most of the stuff we could just imagine him do.

He is just 6-7 year old...after lot of inquiry about who taught him this he said number blocks...took use really some time to understand he watched it on Netflix.

Great stuff...I think his ability to enjoy the show made him understand the simplicity of maths involved.

We are trying to get him lear more, but we find his ability without this show... really great full.

My kid loves this show, he's learned so much and Can count to over a 100 at 4

I can't say enough good things about this show. Whether it's the visual representation of numbers and the ability to relay the point across to the audience or it catchy songs; Numberblocks is like a math class your kids will want to attend. It's characters are well written with personalities of their own and they show pride in their numerological abilities, for example there is a square club which contains 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 etc.

The show also strongly grasps all 4 of the basic mathematical functions: +-×÷. It explains these in a way that's fun for children and as long as they have at least some interest in math, they should be able to grasp the concepts and do basic math.
