Learning

We hope that every Numberjacks experience will combine entertainment and education. In making Numberjacks we wanted to help young children enjoy early maths, problem solving and thinking skills, to help them get off to a good start at school - and ideally give them 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.

Numberjacks are on their way

The Numberjacks is all about excitement, fun and learning, thinking skills, problem solving and maths.

The Numberjacks are ten small superhero numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  They go about their everyday lives inside their sofa until a call comes in from a real-life child Agent, who reports a problem that needs solving. One or two of the Numberjacks fly out on location to investigate. The Numberjacks have to work out how to put things right, and thwart the dastardly intentions of the Meanies.   After much fun, adventure and powerful thinking the Numberjacks win the day - till next time.

The Numberjacks appear in 45 television episodes, broadcast by the BBC in the UK, and in more than 30 other countries around the world.  The Numberjacks' many stories are also told in 42 radio episodes on BBC7 in the UK (and one Christmas special), and on DVD.  The Numberjacks adventures are also gradually extending though a growing list of publications, toys and other products, all of which share (in varying degrees) the same values.

Wherever they appear, the Numberjacks help young children develop the vital early learning skills they need whilst keeping them highly entertained.

More Numberjacks shows are on their way!

We are thrilled to announce that we have been commissioned by CBeebies to produce a second series of Numberjacks.  We are now fully in production and we hope that the shows will be on air in Autumn 2009.

We have now completed the production of two very special shows, which will only be available on DVD. The first is a Numberjacks Counting down to Christmas, which is now available in stores and from the Numberjacks Shop. Then, in time for Easter, comes the Numberjacks Holiday Adventure in which the Numberjacks holiday at the beach is interrupted by some very familiar adversaries.
