Compare Integer Worksheet for practicing comparison of positive and negative numbers using <, >, or =.

Let’s solve each comparison one by one. We’re comparing integers using < (less than), > (greater than), or = (equal to).

Remember:
- Negative numbers are smaller than positive numbers.
- Among negative numbers, the one with the bigger absolute value is actually smaller (e.g., -7 < -5 because 7 > 5, so -7 is further left on the number line).
- Positive numbers: bigger number is greater.
- Same numbers? Use =.

Left column:

1. -7 □ -5 → -7 is less than -5 → <
2. 2 □ 5 → 2 is less than 5 → <
3. -3 □ -7 → -3 is greater than -7 → >
4. 8 □ 4 → 8 is greater than 4 → >
5. 9 □ 5 → 9 is greater than 5 → >
6. -5 □ -7 → -5 is greater than -7 → >
7. -4 □ -1 → -4 is less than -1 → <
8. -3 □ -6 → -3 is greater than -6 → >
9. -3 □ -7 → -3 is greater than -7 → >
10. -5 □ -5 → same number → =

Right column:

11. 8 □ 1 → 8 is greater than 1 → >
12. 2 □ 8 → 2 is less than 8 → <
13. 3 □ 9 → 3 is less than 9 → <
14. 9 □ 9 → same → =
15. -6 □ -1 → -6 is less than -1 → <
16. 3 □ 2 → 3 is greater than 2 → >
17. -2 □ -5 → -2 is greater than -5 → >
18. -9 □ -3 → -9 is less than -3 → <
19. 4 □ 4 → same → =
20. 5 □ 7 → 5 is less than 7 → <

All checked and verified.

Final Answer:
-7 < -5
2 < 5
-3 > -7
8 > 4
9 > 5
-5 > -7
-4 < -1
-3 > -6
-3 > -7
-5 = -5
8 > 1
2 < 8
3 < 9
9 = 9
-6 < -1
3 > 2
-2 > -5
-9 < -3
4 = 4
5 < 7
