When comparing
two numbers,
using a
greater than
>
or
less than
<
sign
can help to order the numbers. |
Remember to always
read
the number sentence from left to right
|
47
>
41
Say:
"47 is greater than
41" |
26
<
32
Say:
"26 is less than
32" |
|
16
> 8
Say:
"16 is greater than
8" |
54
< 82
Say:
"54 is less than
82" |
Hints :
Think of the
Less
than sign (
<
)
as looking like a tipped "L".
&
The "mouth" of
either sign
always goes towards
the GREATER NUMBER.
28
 23
18
 35
|
 Remember:
|
Always read the two
numbers being compared
from left to right,
and the mouth of the sign always goes towards the larger number.
