Problem Description:
The image shows a worksheet titled
"Greater, Less and Equal Sheet 4". The task involves comparing two sets of objects (e.g., circles, stars, or other symbols) in each row and determining whether the first set is
greater than,
less than, or
equal to the second set. The student is required to circle the correct choice.
Solution Approach:
1.
Count the Objects in Each Set: For each row, count the number of objects in the first set and the second set.
2.
Compare the Counts:
- If the first set has more objects than the second set, select "is greater than."
- If the first set has fewer objects than the second set, select "is less than."
- If both sets have the same number of objects, select "is equal to."
3.
Circle the Correct Answer: Based on the comparison, circle the appropriate option for each row.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Row 1:
- First set: 5 circles
- Second set: 6 circles
- Comparison: 5 < 6
- Correct answer: "is less than"
#### Row 2:
- First set: 7 stars
- Second set: 7 stars
- Comparison: 7 = 7
- Correct answer: "is equal to"
#### Row 3:
- First set: 4 triangles
- Second set: 3 triangles
- Comparison: 4 > 3
- Correct answer: "is greater than"
#### Row 4:
- First set: 8 squares
- Second set: 9 squares
- Comparison: 8 < 9
- Correct answer: "is less than"
#### Row 5:
- First set: 6 pentagons
- Second set: 6 pentagons
- Comparison: 6 = 6
- Correct answer: "is equal to"
#### Row 6:
- First set: 10 hexagons
- Second set: 10 hexagons
- Comparison: 10 = 10
- Correct answer: "is equal to"
Final Answer:
- Row 1: Circle "is less than"
- Row 2: Circle "is equal to"
- Row 3: Circle "is greater than"
- Row 4: Circle "is less than"
- Row 5: Circle "is equal to"
- Row 6: Circle "is equal to"
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{Row 1: is less than, Row 2: is equal to, Row 3: is greater than, Row 4: is less than, Row 5: is equal to, Row 6: is equal to}
}
\]
