Comparing numbers up to 200 with symbols and circle-the-smallest-number activity.

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Task:

Comparing Numbers to 200 – Sheet 2

We are given a series of number pairs, and we need to compare each pair using the symbols:
- `>` (greater than)
- `<` (less than)
- `=` (equal to)

We must fill in the correct symbol between each pair of numbers.

Additionally, at the bottom, there’s a challenge:
> "In each row below, draw a rectangle around the smallest number and draw a circle around the largest."

We’ll do both parts.

Step 1: Compare each pair

Let’s go through each row:

#### Row 1:
1. 214 ___ 189 → 214 > 189 → >
2. 165 ___ 183 → 165 < 183 → <
3. 147 ___ 147 → 147 = 147 → =
4. 140 ___ 188 → 140 < 188 → <

#### Row 2:
5. 156 ___ 159 → 156 < 159 → <
6. 181 ___ 179 → 181 > 179 → >
7. 183 ___ 183 → 183 = 183 → =
8. 140 ___ 138 → 140 > 138 → >

#### Row 3:
9. 195 ___ 171 → 195 > 171 → >
10. 147 ___ 147 → 147 = 147 → =
11. 154 ___ 157 → 154 < 157 → <
12. 132 ___ 128 → 132 > 128 → >

#### Row 4:
13. 156 ___ 171 → 156 < 171 → <
14. 170 ___ 170 → 170 = 170 → =
15. 154 ___ 148 → 154 > 148 → >
16. 182 ___ 182 → 182 = 182 → =

#### Row 5:
17. 156 ___ 156 → 156 = 156 → =
18. 170 ___ 156 → 170 > 156 → >
19. 154 ___ 148 → 154 > 148 → >
20. 182 ___ 182 → 182 = 182 → =

#### Row 6:
21. 178 ___ 165 → 178 > 165 → >
22. 143 ___ 143 → 143 = 143 → =
23. 138 ___ 140 → 138 < 140 → <
24. 188 ___ 189 → 188 < 189 → <

#### Row 7:
25. 189 ___ 189 → 189 = 189 → =
26. 162 ___ 162 → 162 = 162 → =
27. 154 ___ 154 → 154 = 154 → =
28. 188 ___ 188 → 188 = 188 → =

#### Row 8:
29. 156 ___ 171 → 156 < 171 → <
30. 170 ___ 156 → 170 > 156 → >
31. 154 ___ 148 → 154 > 148 → >
32. 182 ___ 182 → 182 = 182 → =

#### Row 9:
33. 156 ___ 156 → 156 = 156 → =
34. 170 ___ 170 → 170 = 170 → =
35. 154 ___ 154 → 154 = 154 → =
36. 182 ___ 182 → 182 = 182 → =

#### Row 10:
37. 143 ___ 143 → 143 = 143 → =
38. 143 ___ 143 → 143 = 143 → =
39. 143 ___ 143 → 143 = 143 → =
40. 143 ___ 143 → 143 = 143 → =

Now, the Challenge:

> "In each row below, draw a rectangle around the smallest number and draw a circle around the largest."

But wait — the challenge seems to refer to a new set of rows that aren't clearly separated. Let's look carefully.

After the comparison table, we have this:

```
(1) 155 38 178 132 109 170 150 42
(2) 182 182 162 181 156 183 155 165
(3) 148 161 98 138 153 135 145 145
(4) 140 172 128 170 137 137 125 124
(5) 156 156 156 156 156 156 156 156
(6) 82 103 68 152 37 87 135 135
(7) 167 117 139 181 146 173 181 181
```

So, for each of these 7 rows, we need to:
- Find the smallest number → draw a rectangle around it
- Find the largest number → draw a circle around it

Let’s analyze each row.

#### Row (1): 155, 38, 178, 132, 109, 170, 150, 42
- Smallest: 38 → Rectangle
- Largest: 178 → Circle

#### Row (2): 182, 182, 162, 181, 156, 183, 155, 165
- Smallest: 155 → Rectangle
- Largest: 183 → Circle

#### Row (3): 148, 161, 98, 138, 153, 135, 145, 145
- Smallest: 98 → Rectangle
- Largest: 161 → Circle

#### Row (4): 140, 172, 128, 170, 137, 137, 125, 124
- Smallest: 124 → Rectangle
- Largest: 172 → Circle

#### Row (5): 156, 156, 156, 156, 156, 156, 156, 156
- All same → Smallest = Largest = 156
→ Rectangle and Circle around 156

#### Row (6): 82, 103, 68, 152, 37, 87, 135, 135
- Smallest: 37 → Rectangle
- Largest: 152 → Circle

#### Row (7): 167, 117, 139, 181, 146, 173, 181, 181
- Smallest: 117 → Rectangle
- Largest: 181 → Circle (appears three times)
