Let's solve the
"Compare Numbers" worksheet step by step.
---
🔍 Objective:
For each pair of numbers, determine whether the first number is
greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=) the second number. Then, draw the correct symbol (>, <, or =) in the star-shaped box between them.
We are given examples:
-
More Than: `2 > 1`
-
Less Than: `1 < 2`
So we’ll use:
- `>` if the first number is
larger
- `<` if the first number is
smaller
- `=` if they are
equal

✔ Let’s go through each row:
####
Left Column:
1.
2 ___ 7
→ 2 is less than 7 →
2 < 7
2.
3 ___ 4
→ 3 is less than 4 →
3 < 4
3.
8 ___ 6
→ 8 is greater than 6 →
8 > 6
4.
1 ___ 2
→ 1 is less than 2 →
1 < 2
5.
2 ___ 5
→ 2 is less than 5 →
2 < 5
6.
10 ___ 8
→ 10 is greater than 8 →
10 > 8

📝 Instructions for Filling the Worksheet:
- In each
star, write the correct comparison symbol: `>`, `<`, or `=`.

- Remember: The
pointy side of the symbol always points to the
smaller number.

✔ Final Answer Summary:
| Left Side | Right Side |
|------------------|------------------|
| 2 < 7 | 6 > 3 |
| 3 < 4 | 7 > 5 |
| 8 > 6 | 4 < 9 |
| 1 < 2 | 4 > 1 |
| 2 < 5 | 3 > 2 |

Now you can fill in the stars with these symbols! 😊
