About

Introducing the Bond Blocks Addition & Subtraction Core Kit (Level 1) -Prevention and Intervention of Difficulties

This professional learning is on prevention and intervention of maths difficulties using the Bond Blocks Addition & Subtraction Core Kit. Bond Blocks was developed by Western Australian classroom teacher Narelle Rice in partnership with Dr Paul Swan.
Uses: Whole Class Teaching (Tier 1) and Intervention (Tier 2 and 3) 

PD Outline: 

Building the Foundation of Addition and Subtraction using the Bond Blocks Addition & Subtraction Core Kit. The Bond Blocks Addition & Subtraction Core Kit systematically covers Year 1 to 3 addition and subtraction content, including the application of basic facts to missing number and word problems. The Addition & Subtraction Core Kit has two uses in line with a Response To Intervention approach:

• Whole Class Teaching (Tier One)
  
• Use in Years 1 to 3 as part of a whole school approach to Maths Lesson Warmups. Doing this will reduce the number of students requiring intervention.
• Intervention (Tier Two and Three)
• Use with small groups or individual students in Years 1-6 who count to add and subtract. 
  

The Addition & Subtraction Core Kit includes 108 sequenced, activity boards, each modelled in video for explicit teaching. The kit is designed to support students with learning difficulties. Includes a 20 question, colour-coded Test for placement and progress, tracking & monitoring tools for whole class teaching or intervention and Curriculum-linked implementation planners for whole class teaching and intervention plus a 100-minute video PL. Upskill all your teachers and EAs for no additional cost.
