Numberblocks
Descriptive Transcript
DESCRIPTION: Colourful Numberblocks run together over grassy hills. Each Numberblock is named by the total number of blocks it contains. 1 is a red square, 2 is orange, 3 is yellow, 4 is green, and 5 is blue. They all have smiling faces.
SINGERS: One, two, three, four, five Numberblocks
DESCRIPTION: Five more Numberblocks jump into the sky together. 6 is purple and polka dotted, 7 is rainbow, 8 is hot pink, 9 is grey, and 10 is grey and red.
SINGERS: Six, seven, eight, nine, ten Numberblocks
DESCRIPTION: Numberblocks combine to create larger Numberblocks.
SINGERS: One and another one is two and another one is
THREE: Me!
SINGERS: That's three!
DESCRIPTION: Numberblocks dance together in the sky and run through a grassy field.
SINGERS: Five, four, three, two, one! It's time for some number fun! You can count on us. We're the Numberblocks!
[Title] “Numberblocks”.
DESCRIPTION: The Times Tables Numberblocks soar on jetpacks through the night sky, followed by Ten.
[Whooshing]
TEN: Great work, Times Tables! We're halfway through flight training. Now, take it up to five spots each.
[Cheering]
ALL: Whoa!
DESCRIPTION: Suddenly, one of the Five Times Tables’ jets goes out.
FIVE TIMES TABLES: Sorry. Bit of a jet power problem.
[Gasping]
TEN: The five-by-five booster grid is up ahead! That might help.
DESCRIPTION: The Times Tables and Ten fly to the booster grid. The booster grid is a large, white, rectangular graph that displays the five-by-five times tables. Multiple Numberblocks are missing.
[Zapping]
ALL: Oh no!
[All groaning]
ONE: Uh-oh.
DESCRIPTION: The ‘1’ disappears on the booster grid. One’s jet pack goes out, and she falls to the ground.
[Zapping]
TEN: Oh. Uh!
[Grunting]
TEN: Oh, that doesn't look good.
DESCRIPTION: In an office, Fifteen watches the Times Tables and Ten.
FIFTEEN: Oh dear. The five-by-five booster grid is failing. This is a job for… A-shush.
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen runs towards the exit. Fifteen switches orientations as she runs.
FIFTEEN: Five by three, three by five! Time for a swift exit.
[Beeping]
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen presses the exit button. Suddenly, a Times Table appears on a jet. Fifteen separates into three fives and jumps on.
TIMES TABLE: Hi, Fifteen! Had a feeling you might need a lift.
FIFTEEN: Thank you, Five Times Table. Three by five...
TOGETHER: Three fives! Go, go, go!
DESCRIPTION: The three Fives fly out of the Five’s Mansion. Suddenly, the Times Table’s jets go out.
FIVES: Whoa! Whoa! Oh!
DESCRIPTION: Another Times Table, with five spots, flies by.
TIMES TABLE: Fifteen, jump!
FIFTEEN: If I can be three fives, I can also be…
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen separates into five groups of Three.
TOGETHER: Five threes! Whee!
DESCRIPTION: The Threes jump to the next Times Table.
THREES: Whoa!
TIMES TABLE: Good luck!
[Grunting]
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen lands in front of the booster grid and runs up to Ten. The Times Tables stand next to each other.
[Sighing]
TEN: Fifteen, thank goodness you're here! We need to get the five-by-five booster grid fully powered up.
FIFTEEN: So many empty spaces. Maybe we could fill them in again. Five times three is 15. So, what happens if I slide in there?
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen jumps into her spot on the booster grid. It lights up. The number three Times Table gets her jetpack back.
[Chuckling]
TIMES TABLE: The three times table looks better already!
TEN: We can turn this situation around.
FIFTEEN: That's not all we can turn around. Five times three is 15, so I can turn around and be three times five, as well!
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen slides into the other spot on the booster grid.
FIFTEEN: I think turning things around will really speed things up. This is a job for…
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen separates into one, two, three, four, and five.
STACK SQUAD [singing]: The Super Special Secret Stack Squad is here!
DESCRIPTION: The Stack Squad lists off spots on the booster grid.
ONE: Look at that first column! One lot of ones.
TWO: One lot of two!
THREE: One lot of three!
FOUR: One lot...
FIVE: Of each of us! Let's fill that column up.
DESCRIPTION: Each member of the Stack Squad takes their place on the booster grid in the first column.
TEN: Nice fit! And look. The first row looks a lot like the first column.
ALL: If we turn it around!
DESCRIPTION: The Stack Squad fills up the first column on the opposite side. The first Times Table gets her jetpack back. She smiles.
TIMES TABLE: Oh!
[Giggling]
FIFTEEN: I'm starting to spot a pattern here.
TEN: The first row, turned around, matches the first column. And the second row matches the second column! Let's use some twos!
DESCRIPTION: Ten rotates to be five groups of two, then combines into a Six and a Four. They take their places on the booster grid.
SIX: I'm three times two. I'm two times three. Both ways around, the answer is me! Six!
[Cheering]
EIGHT: Two times four is eight. And so is four times two! Ah!
TEN: And ten is five times two.
DESCRIPTION: The Two Times Tables gets his jetpack back.
TWO TIMES TABLE: Yeah!
TEN: Which, turned around, is two times five!
FIFTEEN: We're really moving now.
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen separates into Twelve and Three. Twelve moves into the booster grid.
TWELVE: Three times four equals four times three! 12!
THREE TIMES TABLE: Ah-hah!
DESCRIPTION: Twenty moves around the booster grid.
TWENTY: Four times five equals five times four! 20.
DESCRIPTION: Four Times Table gets his jetpack back.
FOUR TIMES TABLE: Hooray!
FIFTEEN: One empty space left.
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen looks at the Five times Five space.
FITEEN: And I think I know who can fill it. Check out the diagonal. One times one, two times two, three times three, four times four.
DESCRIPTION: Fifteen and Ten combine to create Twenty-five.
TWENTY-FIVE: Five times five is 25! Whichever way you turn me around.
DESCRIPTION: All of the Times Tables smile and fly around on their now- operational jetpacks.
[Chuckling]
[Cheering]
TEN: I think that turned out rather well.
[Laughing, cheering]
[Upbeat music]
