                 5 books                          7 books            7 books                            5 books


                                     5 < 7                                               7 > 5

               ‘<’ is the symbol used for ‘less than’.             ‘>’ is the symbol used for ‘greater than’.


               ‘5 < 7 is read as ‘5 is less than 7’.               7 > 5 is read as ‘7 is greater than 5’.




                                  =                                 ‘= ’ is the symbol used for ‘equal to’

                                                                       4 = 4 is read as ‘4 is equal to 4’.

                   4 books        =          4 books

              Observe the numbers 11–20 in order.


                              11      12     13      14     15      16     17      18     19      20


                                       Left                                   Right


                     The number 12 is to the left of 13. So, 12 < 13.

                     The number 18 is to the right of 17. So, 18 > 17.

                     Every number is equal to itself. So, 15 = 15.
