The curriculum in New South Wales, Australia, is changing to be like this. Students of a certain grade (and thus their teachers) are currently assessed on if they have a certain competency or not. This means a student coming into Year 7 (first year of high school) is expected to know all pre-requisites and is taught only the new content. Depending on which primary school they attended, and their own learning, this can be very hit-and-miss. Now the intent is facilitate teaching students what they need to learn, but this becomes a lot harder to measure (and to measure the teachers). A program called "Maths Pathways" is being used in some schools, that isn't tied directly to the new curriculum but is very similar in intent. It's a computer based program which is self-paced and focuses on progression through the different ideas rather than teaching everyone the same thing this week.
