Numberblocks support materials

Numberblocks, first broadcast in January 2017, is a pre-school BBC television series aimed at introducing children to early number.

The NCETM materials use each episode as a launch pad. They are designed to assist Early Years (and also Year 1) practitioners to confidently move on from an episode, helping children to bring the numbers and ideas to life in the world around them.

The materials are designed to be used in conjunction with the Numberblocks episodes.
