Grade 5 integers worksheet for comparing positive and negative numbers.

Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re comparing integers — that means whole numbers, including negative ones. Remember:

- Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.
- For two positive numbers, the bigger number is greater.
- For two negative numbers, the one closer to zero (less negative) is greater.

We’ll use > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to).
