Description
Comparing numbers is one of the first big steps in building strong number sense, and this Less Than Greater Than Worksheet gives first graders a clear, friendly way to practice it. Students look at two numbers, decide which one is larger, and then show their thinking by writing the correct symbol. Learning to read and write the less than (<), greater than (>), and equal (=) signs helps children describe how quantities relate to one another—a skill they will use throughout math, from place value to measurement.
This 1st grade inequalities worksheet presents ten pairs of numbers, each with an open box between them. Children write <, >, or = in the box to compare the two numbers. A friendly alligator reminds students of the classic trick: the open mouth always points toward the bigger number. Use the page for morning work, a quick check after a mini-lesson, homework, or a math center. Because every problem is self-contained, students can work at their own pace, and the included answer key makes grading fast.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 10 compare-the-numbers problems (write <, >, or =)
There are three reasons this Less Than Greater Than Worksheet works so well in a first grade classroom. First, the simple write-the-symbol format keeps the focus on the comparison itself instead of on complicated directions. Second, the alligator “hungry mouth” reminder gives children a memorable visual strategy they can picture whenever they get stuck. Third, the mix of less than, greater than, and equal answers—including a few tricky equal pairs—pushes students to look carefully at each number rather than guessing. Together these features build both accuracy and confidence.
Teachers and parents can extend the learning in playful ways. Line up number cards and place a giant paper alligator between two of them, opening its mouth toward the greater number. Play a quick “greater, less, or equal” game with two dice, comparing the rolls each time. Grab two handfuls of counters, count each pile, and write the matching symbol on a whiteboard. Comparing prices at the store or ages in the family turns everyday moments into more inequality practice, helping the skill stick long after the worksheet is done.
