Four Fours
The goal of this puzzle is to combine 4 4's with any other mathematical symbol, excepting numbers, to produce every whole number from 1 to 20.
You can extend this to 5 5's, and 6 6's, and so on.
A good strategy is to compile a long list of all the numbers you get when you combine one 4, two 4's, three 4's, and so on. This helps you chain together expressions.
Four Fours/Table of 4s - a table of various combinations of 4s
Starting with 4s:
$ 1 = \dfrac{4+4}{4+4} $
$ 2 = \dfrac{4 \times 4}{4 + 4} $
$ 2 = 4 - 4 + 4 - \sqrt{4} $
$ 3 = \dfrac{4 + 4 + 4}{4} $
$ 4 = \sqrt{4} \times \dfrac{4 + 4}{4} $
$ 5 = \dfrac{4 \times 4 + 4}{4} $
$ 6 = 4 \times \dfrac{ \ln{\left( 4+4 \right)} }{ \ln{4} } $
$ 7 = 4 + \sqrt{4} + \dfrac{4}{4} $
$ 8 = 4 + 4 \left( \dfrac{4}{4} \right) $
$ 8 = \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} $
$ 9 = 4 + 4 + \dfrac{4}{4} $

$ 10 = \left( \frac{4}{4} + 4 \right) \sqrt{4} $
