This comparing numbers worksheet helps students practice identifying greater than, less than, and equal to relationships between pairs of numbers.

You're looking at a “Comparing Numbers” worksheet designed to help students practice using the greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) symbols.

---

🎯 Task:

For each pair of numbers in the grid, write the correct symbol — >, <, or = — between them.

## ✔ Step-by-Step Solution:

We’ll go row by row, comparing the number on the left with the number on the right.

---

🔹 Row 1:

- 23 vs 33 → 23 is less than 33 → 23 < 33
- 77 vs 87 → 77 is less than 87 → 77 < 87

🔹 Row 2:

- 17 vs 18 → 17 is less than 18 → 17 < 18
- 92 vs 91 → 92 is greater than 91 → 92 > 91

🔹 Row 3:

- 47 vs 67 → 47 is less than 67 → 47 < 67
- 43 vs 44 → 43 is less than 44 → 43 < 44

🔹 Row 4:

- 12 vs 21 → 12 is less than 21 → 12 < 21
- 55 vs 65 → 55 is less than 65 → 55 < 65

🔹 Row 5:

- 69 vs 99 → 69 is less than 99 → 69 < 99
- 62 vs 26 → 62 is greater than 26 → 62 > 26

🔹 Row 6:

- 73 vs 74 → 73 is less than 74 → 73 < 74
- 17 vs 17 → They are equal → 17 = 17

🔹 Row 7:

- 32 vs 32 → They are equal → 32 = 32
- 29 vs 30 → 29 is less than 30 → 29 < 30

🔹 Row 8:

- 99 vs 100 → 99 is less than 100 → 99 < 100
- 33 vs 83 → 33 is less than 83 → 33 < 83

🔹 Row 9:

- 81 vs 71 → 81 is greater than 71 → 81 > 71
- 34 vs 43 → 34 is less than 43 → 34 < 43

## ✍️ Final Answer (Filled Grid):

Here’s how the completed worksheet should look:

```
23 < 33 77 < 87
17 < 18 92 > 91
47 < 67 43 < 44
12 < 21 55 < 65
69 < 99 62 > 26
73 < 74 17 = 17
32 = 32 29 < 30
99 < 100 33 < 83
81 > 71 34 < 43
```

## 🧠 Teaching Tip:

To help remember which way the symbol points:
> The “mouth” of the symbol opens toward the larger number.

Example:
→ `5 < 8` → The mouth opens to the 8 because 8 is bigger.
→ `10 > 3` → The mouth opens to the 10.
