1. Greater than and Less than crocodiles….

2. Our Learning Intention: We are learning how to write “greater than” and “less than” using symbols instead of words. Our success criteria:
I know what each symbol means.
I know which symbol means greater than and which one means less than.

3. Instead of writing a whole sentence:
24 is less than 72
We can make things easier by using a symbol instead of the words!
24 < 72

4. Which is which?
<
>

5. The greedy crocodile always eats the bigger number…
> 12
is greater than

6. …and the point inside the crocodiles mouth always points to the smaller number like an arrow.
56 < 72
is less than

7. For example… 23 is greater than 10 so we would write it like this:
23 > 10
67 is less than 93 so we would write it like this:
67 < 93

8. less than < greater than >
So remember….
The greedy crocodile always eats the greater (bigger) number….
less than < greater than >
And the point of the crocodiles mouth points to the smaller number like an arrow.

9. Greater or less than?
24 and 89

10. 24 is less than 89
24 < 89

11. Greater or less than?
107 and 13

12. 107 is greater than 13
107 > 13

13. Well done!
