Math worksheet for comparing integers with blank spaces for answers.

Let's solve each problem by comparing the pairs of integers using the symbols > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).

🔍 Rules for Comparing Integers:

- Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.
- Among negative numbers, the one with the larger absolute value is actually smaller (e.g., -75 < -57 because 75 > 57).
- Zero is greater than any negative number and less than any positive number.
- Equal numbers use =.

Now, let’s go through each pair:

1. -7 □ 14
→ -7 is negative, 14 is positive → -7 < 14

2. 35 □ -80
→ 35 is positive, -80 is negative → 35 > -80

3. 44 □ 44
→ Same number → 44 = 44

4. 13 □ 31
→ Both positive; 13 < 31 → 13 < 31

5. 38 □ 28
→ Both positive; 38 > 28 → 38 > 28

6. 69 □ 96
→ Both positive; 69 < 96 → 69 < 96

7. 13 □ -31
→ Positive vs negative → 13 > -31

8. -35 □ 25
→ Negative vs positive → -35 < 25

9. 62 □ 62
→ Same number → 62 = 62

10. -25 □ 105
→ Negative vs positive → -25 < 105

11. -1 □ 1
→ Negative vs positive → -1 < 1

12. 53 □ -77
→ Positive vs negative → 53 > -77

13. 99 □ 0
→ Positive vs zero → 99 > 0

14. -14 □ 14
→ Negative vs positive → -14 < 14

15. -75 □ -57
→ Both negative: compare absolute values: 75 > 57 → so -75 < -57 → -75 < -57

16. 81 □ 81
→ Same number → 81 = 81

17. -9 □ 41
→ Negative vs positive → -9 < 41

18. 20 □ 20
→ Same number → 20 = 20

19. -66 □ -11
→ Both negative: |66| > |11| → so -66 < -11 → -66 < -11

20. 32 □ -97
→ Positive vs negative → 32 > -97

21. -109 □ 107
→ Negative vs positive → -109 < 107

22. 625 □ -265
→ Positive vs negative → 625 > -265
