E.g. "Find the missing number: _ + 1 = 5". Same thing with subtraction.
Based upon my experience with my 6 year old (in a public California elementary school), they actually seem to teach math in a huge variety of ways in 1st grade. Word problems, number problems, relationships between plus and minus, and boatloads of ways to solve any given problem.
I think they introduced it in Kindergarten too. But it was way beyond her at the time.
