Printable "Comparing Quantities" math worksheet for kids, designed to practice arithmetic and comparison skills.

Let’s solve each part step by step. We’ll do the math carefully and then fill in the correct symbols or matches.

---

Part A: Fill with = or ≠

We calculate both sides of each equation and compare.

1)
Left: 2 × 3 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
Right: 6 ÷ 2 + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
→ 11 ≠ 8 → ≠

2)
Left: 12 - 2 × 8 + 7 = 12 - 16 + 7 = (-4) + 7 = 3
Right: 4 + 5 - 3 × 2 = 9 - 6 = 3
→ 3 = 3 → =

3)
Left: 7 - 3 × 4 ÷ 6 = 7 - (12 ÷ 6) = 7 - 2 = 5
Right: 10 ÷ 2 + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
→ 5 ≠ 8 → ≠

4)
Left: 6 + 4 ÷ 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
Right: 7 + 12 ÷ 3 = 7 + 4 = 11
→ 8 ≠ 11 → ≠

5)
Left: 8 + 2 × 3 ÷ 6 - 4 = 8 + (6 ÷ 6) - 4 = 8 + 1 - 4 = 5
Right: 5 × 4 - 15 = 20 - 15 = 5
→ 5 = 5 → =

6)
Left: 3 × 2 + 8 = 6 + 8 = 14
Right: 11 + 2 × 3 - 3 = 11 + 6 - 3 = 14
→ 14 = 14 → =

Part B: Fill with <, >, or =

7)
Left: 8 × 4 + 2 - 8 = 32 + 2 - 8 = 26
Right: 9 ÷ 3 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4
→ 26 > 4 → >

8)
Left: 15 × 2 - 9 ÷ 3 = 30 - 3 = 27
Right: 30 - 15 ÷ 5 = 30 - 3 = 27
→ 27 = 27 → =

9)
Left: 5 + 2 - 4 × 7 ÷ 2 = 7 - (28 ÷ 2) = 7 - 14 = -7
Right: 12 - 6 ÷ 2 × 5 = 12 - 3 × 5 = 12 - 15 = -3
→ -7 < -3 → <

10)
Left: 7 + 5 × 2 - 4 = 7 + 10 - 4 = 13
Right: 18 ÷ 9 + 7 - 3 = 2 + 7 - 3 = 6
→ 13 > 6 → >

11)
Left: 12 + 8 × 2 = 12 + 16 = 28
Right: 7 × 3 + 9 - 2 = 21 + 9 - 2 = 28
→ 28 = 28 → =

12)
Left: 6 - 51 ÷ 3 = 6 - 17 = -11
Right: 24 ÷ 6 + 2 - 8 × 5 = 4 + 2 - 40 = 6 - 40 = -34
→ -11 > -34 → >

*(Remember: -11 is greater than -34 because it’s closer to zero on the number line.)*

Part C: Match equal quantities

We calculate each expression and match pairs that give same result.

13) Left: 12 + 3 × 2 - 8 = 12 + 6 - 8 = 10
Look for right side = 10:
→ 14 ÷ 7 + 21 - 4 = 2 + 21 - 4 = 19 ✘
→ 6 + 2 × 3 - 23 = 6 + 6 - 23 = -11 ✘
→ 3 × 3 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10 ✔ → So 13 matches with “3×3+1”

Wait — let’s list all right-side expressions first:

Right column:
- 14 ÷ 7 + 21 - 4 = 2 + 21 - 4 = 19
- 6 + 2 × 3 - 23 = 6 + 6 - 23 = -11
- 3 × 3 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10
- 2 × 3 - 10 = 6 - 10 = -4

Now left column:

13) 12 + 3×2 - 8 = 12 + 6 - 8 = 10 → matches 3×3+1

14) 9 - 12 ÷ 3 + 2×7 = 9 - 4 + 14 = 5 + 14 = 19 → matches 14÷7+21-4

15) 24 ÷ 6 - 8 = 4 - 8 = -4 → matches 2×3 - 10

16) 10 + 7 - 14×2 = 17 - 28 = -11 → matches 6 + 2×3 - 23

Perfect! All matched.
