Greater than — Bigger. 8 is greater than 5.
Less than — Smaller. 3 is less than 7.
Finn found two treasure chests. Scuba Bob counted 12 coins in the first and 8 coins in the second.
"12 is greater than 8," said Scuba Bob.
"We write 12 > 8. The hungry alligator mouth opens toward the bigger number!" said Finn.
"So 8 is less than 12. We write 8 < 12."
"What if both had the same?" asked Finn.
"Then they would be equal! Like 10 = 10," said Scuba Bob.
