Numberjacks isn't just available as a television series or on DVD, there are also 42 specially made radio episodes. Each one of these episodes features the Numberjacks encountering a problem related to a traditional story or nursery rhyme, and were made for CBeebies Radio and broadcast on BBC Radio 7. The Numberjacks magazine also includes these audio stories, bringing them to life on the page.
All of the episodes are already available to download from www.kidsmusic.co.uk .
Numberjacks is now on air in almost forty countries around the world, transmitting in Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Italian. In South America the Numberjacks are Os Supernumeros.
There are 10 superhero Numberjacks, each with particular characteristics and different strengths. Click here to find out more.
There are 5 Meanies who create all kinds of mathematical problems that the Numberjacks have to put right. Click here to find out more.
We hope that every Numberjacks experience will
combine entertainment and education. We want young children enjoy early maths, problem
solving and thinking skills, get off to a good start at school, and have a cheerful and positive attitude towards maths that will last them all
their lives. The learning in Numberjacks covers a wide range of
topics, including numbers, counting, shape, measurement, movement, position, pattern and problem
solving. Click here to find out more.

During 2011 Numberjacks enjoyed an outing Live on Stage. The Numberjacks First Live Mission - Saving Brain Gain toured the country thrilling audiences and filling theatres. Open Mind Productions provided a useful Education Pack which supported the learning in the show. We are hoping that the stage show will return to a theatre near you!

Numberjacks & the Birmingham City Symphony Orchestra
Earlier this year the Birmingham City Symphony Orchestra held an exciting family concert in collaboration with Numberjacks. Aimed at 3 - 5 year olds and their families, the concert featured all your favourite Numberjacks tunes and there was lots of opportunity to join in! The concert was a great success and we hope that it will be repeated in different areas of the country soon. There will definitely be another chance to see the Notelets concert in Birmingham on 22nd February 2012.

Numberjacks Fans
We had a lovely email from a fan of Numberjacks in New Zealand. This is what they said:
"My son is 2 1/2 years old and a great fan of the Numberjacks. When he was 2 he could count to 10. Now at 2 1/2 years old, he can read the numbers to 9 (for 10 he says 1 and 0!). We mix up the numbers and he recognises every number. A lot of people were surprised and impressed but I've recently realised that its because of the Numberjacks. The Numberjacks are easily identified because they are clearly visible by number/name. I'd like to thank you for advancing my son at such an early age and keep up the great work."
