Remember to always read 
the number sentence from left to right
 

One way to remember
what sign is what:

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.
