— Ten, Various epiodes |
Ten, or 10, is a Numberblock that is made up of 10 blocks. She debuts in the episode with the same name. She can turn herself into a rocket and fly into space. She is voiced by Teresa Gallagher.
Appearance
Ten is made of ten white blocks with a red border. She has star-shaped red eyes and pink lips. She has dark red limbs and wears two white gloves in her hands. Sometimes her 1-block outlines disappear, which makes her a 10-block. (This variant also occurs with Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen in the episode On Your Head.)
Personality
Ten is kind, caring, smart, gentle, joyful, curious and friendly, just like One. She normally faces tough situations by making a plan, rather than jumping into action. She really cares about her friends, such as in Ten Again, when she lets all her friends do what they want. She puts others needs before hers and is willing to help any chance she gets. She is shown to support others as well, joining them in whatever they do, such as playing a game with Six in Sixteen, and drawing with Nine in Nineteen. She is usually the leader of the main ten.
LearningBlocks.tv website's description
Numberblock Ten is simply amazing. She’s got two numberlings, a 1 and a 0. She’s got two starry eyes with ten points and two big hands so she can count to ten on her fingers. And she can turn into a rocket and blast off into space by counting down from 10.

Trivia
Character
- Ten is usually seen arranged vertically and aligned 2x5. The only time she is arranged in a triangle (step squad) (1+2+3+4) is in her eponymous episode Ten, the episodes Building Blocks, Step Squads, Steps Versus Squares, and One Giant Step Squad.
- In the intro and various episodes, Ten remains vertical when she should be aligned 2x5 since she is a composite Numberblock. However, it is possible that the purpose of her often standing vertically is to show that she is the biggest Numberblock out of the first ten, or a whole unit.
- These are the following episodes where she is the only composite Numberblock (with all of the copies) to stay arranged vertical:
- Theme song
- Blast Off
- The Three Threes
- Numberblocks Castle
- Ten Green Bottles
- Numberblobs
- Peekaboo!

- She has stayed vertical in a total of 24 episodes.
- Her voice actor, Teresa Gallagher, also voices Zero, Six, Fifteen, Twenty-Eight, Sixty and Ten Thousand.
- Ten and Five are similar in some ways.
- They both wear gloves, but 5 has only one glove, while 10 has two gloves.
- They both come after a square number.
- They are both the biggest number in their respective series.
- They are both females.
- They both have stars in their eyes, but Five only has one star, while 10 has two stars making 5 the half of ten.
- They are both first two multiples of 5.
- Ten and Fifty-Five are also similar in some ways.
- They are both step squads.
- They both can be a rocket.
- They are both multiples of 5.
- They don't wear step squad boots.
- They are both semi-prime numbers.
- A notable change in Series 3 is that her helmet becomes red.
- Ten’s numeral means the “base,” for example, means Twelve in Duodecimal or Sixteen in Hexadecimal.
- Her name has been spelled by the Alphablocks before she was a character. It happened in Little Red N and Note.
- Ten has the most fingers in Learningblocks history: the Colourblocks have eight, Five has five, the Alphablocks only have thumbs and the other Numberblocks and Wonderblocks (characters) have no fingers at all.
- The main reason why Ten doesn't resemble One thoroughly except for the colours is because she doesn't have "One" in her name. If she was called "One Ten" or "Onety", she would resemble One more.
- She is the first power of ten to not be a square, the others are One Thousand, One Hundred Thousand, Ten Million, and One Billion.
- In Now We Are Six To Ten, Ten is the only one to put the bedtime book away during the end of a bedtime story.
- It is shown that she can understand Morse code, as seen in Heroes With Zeroes.
- The reason why Ten is white and not light red is because her name doesn't end in the "-ty" suffix. It could also likely to hint at little kids and remind older ones that ten is the base of their number system, or because she was created before the idea of tens being like their ones counterparts. However, she does become light red when she glows (counting her digits).
- Ten's Numberling can sometimes align like Tens and Ones arrangements for larger Numberblocks: having her 1 directly on top (for 1 ten) and leaving her 0 hanging to the right (and nothing more). This only happens in two episodes: her debut episode and "On Your Head".
- She is the only multiple of 10 from 10-90 who doesn't have the same voice actor or actress as their divided by ten counterpart. Ten is voiced by Teresa Gallagher instead of Beth Chalmers.
- She is the first Numberblock to be the same gender of both her digits.
- All multiples of her up to One Hundred have all their factors figured out.
- She is the only Order of Magnitude to be figured out to not be a red cyclops.
- She is the only ten that's not a super rectangle, as she has 4 factors, and in order to be a super rectangle, a Numberblock requires x ≥ 6.
- One, Two, and Ten were the only characters before 2021 and 2024 to have all of their multiples (up to the 10th) figured out before "More To Explore."
- In “Thirteen,” Ten is shown in one scene with no outlines and her blocks were off center.
- She is the smallest Numberblock to be double digit.
- Innuendo: In one scene of a storyboard, Ten is accidentally shown with an exposed buttock. Fortunately none of it made it into the final cut for obvious reasons.
