How Rectangly! is the eleventh episode of the fifth series of Numberblocks. It is the 101st episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Twenty-One helps some new friends find out how many rectangles they can make. Learn about the numbers 23 and 24.
Plot[]
The episode starts with 21-24 working out at Ten's Place. After their workout, Twenty-Four wonders if they'll ever figure themselves out. Twenty-One decides to help them out.
When they come, Twenty-One tells Twelve seeing what rectangles a number can make really helps figure them out. Twenty-Two explains that when he found he makes a 2×11 rectangle, he found out he could be a team of halves. Then Twelve and Eighteen start explaining they are super rectangles, so Eighteen gets mats and array scrolls for 23 and 24 to get figured out.
The two compound Numberblocks stand on the mats and start figuring out what rectangles they can make, starting with their prime positions (one block wide by their number tall, and one block tall by their number wide). Twenty-Four manages to make eight rectangles (1×24, 2×12, 3×8, 4×6, 6×4, 8×3, 12×2, and 24×1), while Twenty-Three only manages to make two; 1×23 and 23×1, their prime positions. Twenty-Four proceeds to figure herself out, becoming a super-duper rectangle. Meanwhile, Twenty-Three figures himself out, affirming that he is happy being himself.

Math Magic[]
- 20 = 2 × 10 (hint)
- 21 = 2 × 10 + 1 (hint)
- 22 = 2 × 10 + 2 (hint)
- 23 = 2 × 10 + 3 (hint)
- 24 = 2 × 10 + 4 (hint)
- 22 = 2 × 11
Trivia[]
- This episode marks Twenty-One and Twenty-Two's first appearances in Series 5 and the 2020's decade, as well as the official figured out forms of both Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four.
- This is the first episode where a bigger number gets figured out before a smaller one in the same episode.
- This episode aired 9 years after Quick.
- This is the 9th time One is absent and the 5th time Two is absent.
- This is also the first episode where all square numbers are absent (Unless Four in his square form is counted, even though he was conjoined with Twenty.)
- This is the first time Ten is the smallest number in an episode (unless only the units are counted, making Three the smallest)
- The two Twelves that Twenty-Four splits into saying "all day, and all night too" is a reference to the 24-hour solar day.
- This marks the debut of Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four's compound forms by chronological order.
Errors[]
- In one frame, 21 appears with 20 blocks.
- Speaking of which, her border is also wrong because the left border has eight blocks but the right border has 11 blocks.
- When compound 23 and compound 24 first go on the mats, they have extra legs. They also have their left arms in the wrong place.
- When compound 24 turns three blocks wide, their numberling clips through their blocks. In the same scene, they appear to have lost the inside borders.
