Worksheet Overview

This worksheet is about the use of < or > between two numbers.

Example

Put the right symbol > (greater than) or < (less than) between the numbers.

 
59,137 
 
  87,273

 

Answer

59 thousand is less than 87 thousand.

59,137 
<
  87,273

 

*When we look at the numbers in the ten thousands place, we can see that 50, 000 is less than 80, 000. At times, we might need to look at the thousands, hundreds and tens place to compare the numbers.

Example

13,137  
<
 13,173

In this example, the numbers are the same until the tens place, which tells us 13, 130 is less than 13, 170.
