[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you give examples of the kinds of problems your first grader has been given? My first grader is currently doing math mountains and word problems, not complex stuff for a parent to figure out at all.[/quote]

Here are a couple of examples she gets from school.  This is the kind where I go "what the f--- ?" On the bottom one I think they were told by the teacher to use only two numbers, not three.  She wouldn't have thought of this herself.

[/quote] The first one I would have skipped and told the teacher we decided not to do it because it was stupid. The second one should have been 3+3=6  6-3=3 I would think. [/quote] Sorry, couldn't see the photo when responding. Since it was addition only it was what I originally thought 6+3=9[/quote]
