More sophisticated ideas are also explored in later episodes such as comparison, [[square numbers]], and [[Triangle numbers|triangular numbers]] (known as "Step Squads" in the series) as well as counting using [[binary numbers]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Numberblocks episodes series 1 to 5 |url=https://www.ncetm.org.uk/media/tncbnsg3/numberblocksepisodesseries1to5.pdf |website=ncetm.org.uk}}</ref>
