Comparing Numbers
Ordering Numbers
| Symbols are used to show how the size of one number compares to another. These symbols are < (less than), > (greater than), = (equals.) |
| example, since 2 is smaller than 6 and 6 is larger than 2, we can write: 2 < 6, which says the same as 6 > 2 and of course 6=6 |
<

| Numbers have an order or arrangement. They can be arrange from least to greatest or from greatest to least. Example: If we start with the numbers 10 and 12, the number 11 would come between them, the number 13 would come after them and the number 9 would come before both of them. The order may be ascending (getting larger in value) or descending (becoming smaller in value). |
