This worksheet helps young learners practice counting and comparing quantities by selecting the correct mathematical symbol for each pair of shape groups.

I will solve this numeracy worksheet by counting the shapes in each pair and then comparing the numbers to determine the correct symbol (<, >, or =) for each box.

Let me go through each problem one by one:

Problem 1:
- Left side: 1 green dot
- Right side: 2 green dots
- Since 1 is less than 2, the correct symbol is `<`

Problem 2:
- Left side: 6 red squares (3 rows of 2)
- Right side: 6 red squares (2 rows of 3)
- Since 6 equals 6, the correct symbol is `=`

Problem 3:
- Left side: 3 yellow squares
- Right side: 4 yellow squares
- Since 3 is less than 4, the correct symbol is `<`

Problem 4:
- Left side: 8 blue circles (2 columns of 4)
- Right side: 8 blue circles (2 columns of 4)
- Since 8 equals 8, the correct symbol is `=`

Problem 5:
- Left side: 4 red stars
- Right side: 3 red stars
- Since 4 is greater than 3, the correct symbol is `>`

Problem 6:
- Left side: 5 green triangles
- Right side: 5 green triangles
- Since 5 equals 5, the correct symbol is `=`

Problem 7:
- Left side: 3 blue triangles
- Right side: 2 blue triangles
- Since 3 is greater than 2, the correct symbol is `>`

Problem 8:
- Left side: 6 yellow stars
- Right side: 9 yellow stars
- Since 6 is less than 9, the correct symbol is `<`

The completed worksheet should have the following symbols in the boxes:
1. `<`
2. `=`
3. `<`
4. `=`
5. `>`
6. `=`
7. `>`
8. `<`
