In the fifth episode of season one of Numberblocks, titled "One, Two, Three!," the Numberblocks set out on a journey of counting, addition, and teamwork.
The episode begins with One feeling lonely and bored, wishing for more friends to play with. Two comes along and offers to be One's friend, but One quickly realizes that Two doesn't seem as interested in One as he is in himself. Frustrated, One decides to leave Two and go off on his own, but quickly gets lost in the Number Forest.
As he wanders through the forest, One comes across Three, who is busy building himself a tower out of blocks. One is impressed by Three's skills and begins to help him build the tower, but soon realizes that Three's plan is to build a staircase to the clouds and collect as many stars as possible. One is hesitant, explaining that he doesn't think they'll be able to reach the stars even if they build a tower all the way to the clouds.
Undeterred, Three comes up with an idea - they can work together and count their blocks in order to see how many they have, and then add them together to make an even bigger tower. One is hesitant at first, but soon sees the value in Three's idea and agrees to help.
Together, One and Three count all of their blocks, using One's counting skills to make sure that they don't miss any. Once they have counted all their blocks, they begin to add them together, starting with One plus Three. One is surprised to see that the sum of One plus Three is Four, and is even more astonished when Three suggests that they add Four to themselves to make an even bigger number.
One and Three continue to count and add their blocks together, each time coming up with a new number that they hadn't thought was possible. They also discover the concept of subtraction, taking away blocks when they need to make even numbers. As they work, Two realizes that he misses One and sets out to find him, eventually stumbling upon the tower that One and Three have built.
Two is impressed with the tower and offers to help gather more blocks, sparking a newfound sense of friendship and teamwork between the three Numberblocks. Together, they build an even bigger tower and finally reach the clouds, reveling in their success and newfound friendship.
