📝 Explanation:
This worksheet helps students practice comparing numbers using:
-
Greater than (>): when one number is larger
-
Less than (<): when one number is smaller
-
Equal to (=): when both numbers are the same
For example:
- 20 < 60 → so “is less than”
- 85 > 58 → so “is greater than”
- 71 = 71 → so “is equal to”
These comparisons build foundational number sense and understanding of numerical relationships.
