Plot[]

Synopsis[]
Ten and Two are in a desert. They see a pile of rocks arranged in a rectangle. Ten tries to make the same shapes as the rocks, but she has a hole. Noticing the gap is the same size as Two, Ten encourages Two to fill in her gap and then...
They become Twelve, who is a super rectangle!
Twelve sees the twelve rocks arrayed in a rectangle: 3 columns and 4 rows. Twelve sings about being a super-rectangle, a number with more than 2 factors other than 1 and themself. She displays her factors (2, 3, 4, 6), including herself and One.
Lyrics[]
12: I'm rectangular 12, I'm 10 and 2
I make arrays, that's what I do
When I put my blocks in columns and rows
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Three!
By four!
Today‘s the day for an array display
I can make arrays all day
I make arrays in many ways
Stand back, let's play:
Arrays away!
Three by four is my first array
3 lots of four you can put it that way
And if you’re not following what I say
I'll rectify that right away
Break away!
The 4's: Three fours!
A four, and a four, and a four!
12: Rectangle rise!
Turn!
I'm rectangular 12, I'm 10 and 2
I make arrays, that's what I do
When I put my blocks in columns and rows
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Four!
By three!
Four by Three is my next array
Four lots of Three, you can put it that way
And this rectangular display
Is about to show you how it's made
Break away!
The 3's: Four threes!
Look at me! (4x)
12: Switch!
I'm rectangular 12, I'm 10 and 2
I make arrays, that's what I do
When I put my blocks in columns and rows
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Two!
By Six!
Two by six is another way
Two lots of six, do you hear what I say?
Another rectangular array
So let's split without delay!
Break away!
The 6's: Two Sixes!
Let's roll!
Double six!
12: Turn!
I'm rectangular 12, I'm 10 and 2
I make arrays, that's what I do
When I put my blocks in columns and rows
I make an array and my rectangle goes like this!
Six!
By Two!
Six by Two is next in line
Six lots of Two, it’s a clever design
And if you want to see how all this fits
I can break it all to bits
Break away!
The 2's: Six twos!
A 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
12: Arrays away!
One, by Twelve
Switch!
Two, by Six
Switch!
Three, by Four
Turn!
Four, by Three
Switch!
Six, by Two
Switch!
Twelve, by One
Break away!
The Ones: Twelve ones!
Each Number: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve!
It's a new craze to coin a phrase
You'll be in a daze when you fix your gaze
On my amazing array display!

Trivia[]
- Song: Arrays Away!
- Numbers that are not factors of Twelve only appear when the 12 Ones add up to Twelve one by one.
- This is the first time a new Numberblock first appears by merging without addition magic.
- Although Twelve is new in this episode, there is no Magic Mirror in this episode to recreate the numbers that added up to her.
- This is the second time a new Numberblock doesn’t use the Magic Mirror when they appear. The first time is Two, when in his debut, he changes to One and Another One and Another One goes to the Magic Mirror to make the third One and Another One and the third One mix to a new Two.
- This is the second time somebody points out they have a hole. The last time was in Nine, where Eight makes a square with a hole/donut. Ironically, they both introduce new Numberblocks.
- It is shown that Twelve has nothing to do with time because she is a super rectangle, despite being a number relevant to counting time, as seen in About Time.
- This episode and Eleven are tied with having the second shortest name out of all Series 3 episodes as well as the shortest name in Fifteen and Friends, with 6 letters.
- However, Zero holds the shortest name out of all series 3 episodes having 4.
- This episode has a similar song to Counting Cars.
