Based on feedback, the two original Counting Kit boxes (Bond Blocks Counting to 10, Bond Blocks Counting to 20) first released in 2022 now have a single kit replacement / second edition called the Bond Blocks Counting to 10 & 20 Kit that combines the two and adds an additional 63 activity boards and teacher resources.

Why did you make this change?

1. Changes in curriculum from Australian Curriculum 8 to 9 required changes in the structure of the Counting Kit.
2. Teachers told us that they much preferred the Bond Blocks Core Kit for Addition & Subtraction in style, ease-of-use and setup.
3. Feedback told us that schools wanted the same depth of teaching resources as the Core Kit (tests, planners, tools and videos) for Counting.

What has been added?

The 2024 Counting to 10 & 20 Kit is now a single combined kit that also has many new A3 teacher-led activity boards and videos presenting the boards (releasing over time). We also have new Planners, Curriculum coverage documents, a Screening Test, and new Exploratory Play activities now in addition to the original Guided Play Cards.

The professional learning (previously available separately for $450) is now included in the box and further differentiations have been added! This version of the kit also includes printable PDFs of every activity board, the equivalent product for the Core Kit was $550. This licence to print applies to the whole school for as many copies as required.
