Instructions do not state that the student must use ALL of the given numbers and signs.
At a 3rd grade level, it very well may be that this is a function of how creative the student can get with his/her combination of these numbers/signs to come up with one of the answers.
How many different ways can the student come up with the answer of 1 (etc) using any form of combination possibilities... and not necessarily using all of the numbers/signs...
That's how I would approach this if my son were given this assignment...
