There are symbols which can be used to compare two numbers:
> GREATER THAN
< LESS THAN
= EQUAL
Here are some examples showing how these symbols can be used:
4 > 3 5 < 11
6 = 6 12 > 10
15 > 7 Means that 15 is larger than 7.
17 < 19 Means that 17 is smaller than 19.
11 = 11 Means that 11 is equal to 11.
NOTE: Spend time going over examples like these. Present a number pair (with
space between them) and have the student decide which symbol to draw between
the numbers.
