What is 10+2 About?
The series takes place in a make-believe land called Numberland. The main setting is a school where the teacher is Professor Aristotle. His helpful assistant is named Infinite.
The students are ten living numbers, from zero to nine! Each number has its own special personality. The characters in the TV show don't speak words. They use sounds and body language to talk to each other.
Every night, Professor Aristotle tells the story of what happened that day. He often counts things that match the number characters. But in the movies based on the show, all the characters can talk!
