Twelve: I.... am Twelve. I am 3 by 4. I am a rectangle. Turn! I am also 4 by 3.
Twelve: And I am a super rectangle! I can take many forms! Switch! I am 6 by 2! Turn! I am 2 by 6! I am a rectangle! Welcome, my friends. Would you like to master the way of the rectangle?
Six and Eight: [gasp]
Twelve: First, you need to stand so your front makes rectangle shape. Watch and tell me when I'm making a rectangle.
Six and Eight: No.
Six and Eight: No.
Six and Eight: Yes!
Twelve: Well done! Now, look at your own fronts. What shape are you making?
Six and Eight: I'm a...rectangle!
Twelve: That's right. Your blocks are arranged in neat columns and rows. Now, concentrate on how wide you are.
Six: I am Six. I am...two blocks wide...by...three blocks tall. I am two by three. I am a rectangle! Wheeheehee!
Eight: Ah. I am Eight. I am two blocks wide...by four blocks tall. I am two by four. I am a rectangle! Up, up, and away!
Six: Whaaa!
[Six runs into Eight and they collide into a gong.]
Four: Oh! I heard a bang! Are you okay, Six?
Six: I'm more than okay. I've mastered the way— Hey! Where are my rays?
Twelve: [chuckling] You need to concentrate. It gets easier with practice. So let's practice! It's time for...the Turn!
Twelve: I am Twelve. I am three by four. Which means...turn! I am also four by three. See?
Four: Oooooh!
Six and Eight: Ah!
Six: I am Six. I am two by three! Which means...turn! I am also three by two! Hoohoohoohoo!
Eight: I am Eight. I am two by four! Which means...Octoblock, turn! I am also four by two!
Six: Turn! Two by three! Turn! Three by two! Turn! Turn! Tuuuuurn! [giggles]
Four: Oh! Let me try that! I am Four! I am two blocks wide by two blocks tall! I am two by two!
Six: Yay!
Eight: Haha!
Four: And I am also...Turn! Umm...two by two? That's the same again! Did I go wrong?
Twelve: [chuckling] No, Four. You're a special kind of rectangle, that is the same number of blocks, as tall!
Four: A SQUARE! A SQUARE!
[Four rides his rays into Three and Two.]
Two, Three, and Four: Oof! Ow.
Three: Hey, hey, hey! What's all this?
Six: Look at us and be amazed, we all have rectangle rays!
Two: Ohhh...
Three: Hmm! It's all right for some. I can't make big, wide rectangles!
Twelve: Whoever said rectangles had to be wide?
Two and Three: Oh...Twelve: Numberblocks, stand tall! Now, what shape are you making?
Three: Oh, uhh...
Two: A rectangle!
Three, Four, Six, and Eight: [gasp]! A tall, thin rectangle!
Two, Three, Four, Six, and Eight: I am one block wide, and I am...
Two: Two!
Three: Three!
Four: Four!
Six: Six!
Eight: Eight!
Two, Three, Four, Six, and Eight: ...blocks tall! I am a rectangle!
[They start whooping as they ride on their rays.]
Twelve: Maybe I shouldn't have told them!
Three: Whee!!
Twelve: Oh well. Too late now. Hup!
[They all ride around, having fun.]
