Comparing numbers
When comparing two numbers, decide which is greater, which is smaller or whether they are equal. On a number line, a number farther to the right is greater and one farther to the left is smaller.
Comparison symbols
- The symbol > means “greater than”.
- The symbol < means “less than”.
- The symbol = means that both numbers are equal.
Read both numbers before choosing a symbol. “One greater” means add 1, while “one smaller” means subtract 1.
