Fun Math Quiz Less Than, Greater Than, and Same As @worldofworksheetswow...

When we talk about numbers, we can compare them to see which is bigger, smaller, or the same. This is done using special math symbols:

• Greater Than ( > )
• Less Than ( < )
• Equal To ( = )

Here’s how you can help kids understand these concepts with simple explanations:

1. Greater Than ( > )

When one number is bigger than another, we say it's greater than. The open side of the symbol points to the bigger number.

Example:

• 5 > 2 (This means 5 is greater than 2).

Trick to Remember:
Imagine the symbol as a hungry crocodile that always wants to eat the bigger number! So, the open mouth faces the larger number.

2. Less Than ( < )

When one number is smaller than another, we say it's less than. The pointed side of the symbol faces the smaller number.

Example:

• 3 < 6 (This means 3 is less than 6).

Trick to Remember:
Again, think of the hungry crocodile, but this time it’s facing the bigger number on the right.

3. Equal To ( = )

When two numbers are the same, we use the equal sign ( = ). It shows both numbers are equal in value.

Example:

• 4 = 4 (This means both sides are the same).

How to Practice:

• Show kids two sets of objects (like 3 apples and 5 apples) and ask them which set has more.
• Use fun visual aids like crocodile mouths to represent the symbols.
• Ask them to compare numbers using real-life examples, like counting toys or candies.
