Bond Blocks does not cover all areas of the curriculum. It focusses on covering essential content, identified through research predictive of mathematical difficulties. The Addition & Subtraction Kit covers this essential content in a sequential built and cyclically reviewed way, using evidence-informed teaching strategies such as explicit teaching and multiple exposures. 

Implementing the Additon & Subtraction Kit in Years 1 and 2, as per the planner, will use one-third of your total maths time. Using Bond Blocks ensures that essentials are covered, whilst freeing up time to cover other content descriptors. Using the kit for tier one teaching in Years 1 and 2 will also reduce the number of students requiring intervention in Year 3 and 4. 

The number and algebra strand curriculum covered by the Addition & Subtraction Kit is highlighted below. Formatted using Swan and Rice Quick Curriculum Guides.
