Greater Than and Less Than - Worksheet

The 'Greater Than and Less Than' worksheets are engaging maths resources designed to help students learn to compare numbers using the symbols < (less than) and > (greater than). The fun twist is that students are encouraged to think of the symbols as a hungry creature that always wants to eat the larger number. This visual representation aids in making the concept more memorable. The worksheets present pairs of numbers, and students are tasked with determining which number is larger and then using the correct symbol to show the relationship between them.

The first worksheet consists of ten comparisons, such as '16 and 24' or '77 and 63', where students must decide which is the greater number. The second worksheet continues with a similar format but introduces simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction into the comparisons, for instance, '6 + 9' and '80 + 10'. This not only reinforces the concept of greater than and less than but also integrates basic computation skills. The answer sheet for the second worksheet provides the correct symbols for each comparison, ensuring that students can check their work and understand any mistakes. These worksheets are designed to be clear and straightforward, making them suitable for individual practice or classroom activities.
