and read it as 'greater than'.

• '>' sign is read as
'greater than'.

• Open side of '>' has
1 bigger number.

3

5

Here, 5 flowers are more than 3 flowers. Hence, 5 > 3 or 5 is greater than

3. 3 flowers are more than 1 flower. Hence, 3 > 1 or 3 is greater than 1.

Less means fewer. We use '<' sign to denote less number of objects and

read it as 'less than'.

Re
• '<' sign is read as 'less than'.

• Closed side of '<' has smaller number.

2 • A one-digit number is always less
than a two-digit number. For
5 example, 3 < 13, 7 < 21, etc.

9

Here, 2 balls are less than 5 balls. Hence, 2 < 5 or 2 is less than 5.

5 balls are less than 9 balls. Hence, 5 < 9 or 5 is less than 9.
