This is a remix of Goody Bags from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1113.  This lesson is about about counting a set of objects and writing the number.  The purpose of this task is to give students practice counting 20 or fewer objects orally and writing the number that matches how many they count from each bag or bucket to support sol K.1a and K.1b.  Students will play Count the Room game with a partner.  I often have my students work with a partner because it encourages more engagement and increases individual achievement compared to students working alone.

This is a remix of Sort and Count II from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/990 The lesson is about sorting and counting 20 or fewer objects to support sol K.1a.  The purpose of this task is for students to sort the same set of objects according to different attributes and to practice counting a given set of 20 or fewer objects.  Students will play this game with a partner in a Scoot style game.  My students love games or activities that get them out of their seats and moving.  Instead of scooting around desks, students will scoot around the room.
