I can tell which number is greater or less, and use <, >, and = correctly.
When we compare two numbers, we decide which number is bigger and which is smaller.
Words we use
Symbols we use
Easy tip
First, count or look at the number line. Then choose the correct word or symbol.
Picture strip: Using < and > to compare
Which group has more?
We can write this as 4 < 6.
Reading the symbols
< points to the smaller number. > points to the bigger number.

Use real objects like pencils, cubes, or counters. Grab a small handful. Your partner grabs a handful too. Count both groups out loud. Point to the group with more and the group with less. If they match, say equal. Then open the tracing pad and trace a word (more/less/equal) and write one true sentence to match what you see.
Drag the two numbers and the correct symbol into the boxes. Put them in this order: number – symbol – number.
Use 3, 8, and the correct symbol.
Use 14, 9, and the correct symbol.
Use 20, 20, and the correct symbol.
Use 37, 45, and the correct symbol.
Use 52, 49, and the correct symbol.
Use 60, 70, and the correct symbol.
Use 35, 30, and the correct symbol.
Use 90, 100, and the correct symbol.
Tap the correct tick. On a number line, the bigger number is farther to the right.
