Addition! | Level 1 | Numberblocks
By Numberblocks
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Addition as combining groups**: The video visually demonstrates addition by showing how individual Numberblocks combine to form larger numbers. For example, one block plus one block equals two blocks. [03:09], [09:14] - **Numbers as sums of smaller parts**: Each Numberblock is shown to be composed of smaller units, illustrating that larger numbers are essentially sums of their constituent parts. For instance, Number Two is presented as two ones. [03:15], [04:50] - **The 'Terrible Twos' and multiplication**: The concept of 'terrible twos' is introduced as two groups of two, visually representing multiplication as repeated addition, where two lots of two equal four. [01:05], [04:11] - **Building numbers sequentially**: The video progresses through numbers 1 to 10, showing how each subsequent number is formed by adding one to the previous number, reinforcing the concept of counting and sequential addition. [09:05], [10:43] - **Addition and subtraction are inverse operations**: The video demonstrates the relationship between addition and subtraction by showing how adding one can be reversed by subtracting one. For example, four plus one equals five, and five minus one equals four. [18:40], [19:03] - **Complex additions shown with Numberblocks**: The video illustrates more complex additions, such as stopping a train by adding numbers sequentially, showing that 1+2=3 and 3+2=5, and also demonstrates how larger numbers can be broken down into sums, like 14 being 8+6. [19:25], [43:44]
Topics Covered
- How numbers are built from fundamental blocks.
- Sequential operations transform numbers predictably.
- How numbers combine to form new values.
- Decomposing numbers using the tens place.
- Discovering the geometric structure of numbers.

whole thing drops out of the sky and
smashes into numberland oh that block is
no match for a super rectangle like me
all teams report him switch
two sixes standing by
which
three fours
standing by
switch I'm going in hold on tight
you need to turn off the force field
before you can get to the battery
see a line of towers ahead yes six of
them each has two buttons on top you
need to press all the buttons together
six towers two buttons each array
display
this calls for switch
[Music]
[Applause]

a late display I've got just the team
which
two sixes we've got a great escape
technique let's play a game of hide and
seek switch

[Music]
come on
everyone's a winner
[Applause]
[Music]
welcome to tens place all of you are
bigger than me that means each of you
has a 10 inside you see you are greater
than ten and you've got Big Dreams you
want fun well fun it is and right now is
where you start playing
okay let's pump those numbers
that's right now give me some squats
let me see you do the jump and bump
ten plus one eleven
ten plus two is twelve
ten for three is thirteen
oh ten plus four is forty
five
ten plus five is fifteen
terrific now let's stretch our turns huh
nice and tall
oh
link those ones high in the air take it
away eleven minus one
twelve minus two is ten
thirteen minus three is ten
fourteen minus four is ten
minus five is ten
oh
ready let's work those tens yeah
rectangle with a hole and freestyle yeah
[Laughter]
[Music]
if this is tens place where are the tens
um
say we make this floor three's place
every everyone off
ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen
15.
oh welcome to oh it's a bit high up here
put me down
all of you are bigger than me and so
make yourself shorter
this is even shorter
you've all got a three inside you oh
well except for 13. he already pinged
apart into 10 and me oh
teen you're one more than 13. extreme
14.
minus one a close 13.
and for my next trick twelve plus one
equals
[Music]
15. let's say ten and five but I want
ten and three and three is two less than
five so let's pop off a two
five minus two okay close
ten and three
ten and one plus two equals
okay ten and three there now everybody
Stand Tall
when I say go go go my lovely thirteen
[Music]
[Music]
I can't wait to visit the pattern Palace
is it far this
is around this Ridge if you can cross
the balancing Bridge
[Music]
thank you
today
[Applause]
[Music]
whoops
I guess I forgot to put the safety locks
on
I say we go softly softly like this
[Music]
we need to balance the bridge out before
15 falls off but I'm not big enough to
do it alone 10 is less than 15. you need
15 blocks to balance me out but 15 is 10
and 5. so it's Island a hand
oh two plus five equals 15.
foreign
we need to reach The Far Side so we can
lock the bridge I can do this I am three
by four I am a rectangle wow that is
cool
[Music]
what's going on oh 12 needs balancing
and 12 is ten plus two come on ten wait
where's ten
bit busy sorry then we need another ten
seven three you can make ten oh that's
Lucky
Seven plus three plus two equals
ten plus two equals
grab hold three we're halfway there what
could possibly go wrong
[Music]
we need to balance 13 but we haven't got
a three or a ten maybe I can help I'm
only one less than ten and that's close
