Arithmetic Representation

As they learn, number properties and the 4 operations, children can learn to represent numbers in terms of other numbers &amp; arithmetic operators. This activity is very creative and logical &amp; will open out their out-of-the-box thinking. I will just give 2 such examples without solutions!

As children proceed to higher classes, they will learn many ways of representing any number using other numbers.
 * 1) Write numbers 1, 2, 3 &amp; 4 in the same order. Inserting any valid arithmetic operator between them, get numbers from 0 to 50. 				1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
 * 2) Use 2 (quantity) 4s (number 4) and using any valid arithmetic operator, get numbers from 1 to 9 				4 + &radic;4 = 6
