                Smaller Number

                A number that comes before any number on a number strip is smaller than
                that number.

                    0    1   2    3    4    5    6    7   8    9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

                     6          9                           10         18                           8          16

                    6 comes before 9.                 10 comes before 18.                   8 comes before 16.

                So, 6 is smaller than 9. So, 10 is smaller than 18.                     So, 8 is smaller than 16.

                bigger Number

                A number that comes after any number on a number strip is bigger than
                that number.

                    0    1   2    3    4    5    6    7   8    9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

                     7         10                            8         14                           11         19

                    10 comes after 7.                   14 comes after 8.                    19 comes after 11.

                So, 10 is bigger than 7.            So, 14 is bigger than 8.             So, 19 is bigger than 11.

                using Symbols to Compare Numbers

                We use symbols >, < or = to compare                                                   5 > 3

                numbers.                                                                      5 is bigger than 3

                                                                                                     12 < 18
                   >  is used to show the bigger number.                                    12 is smaller than 18

                   <  is used to show the smaller number.                                            18 = 18

                   =  is used to show that both numbers are equal.                             18 is equal to 18
