Greater than, less than worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

Compare the biggest place first: the open side of the symbol faces the bigger number.

Two grades, each its own sheet. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. 1st grade Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    Greater than, less than worksheets give first graders pairs of two-digit numbers with a circle between them; your child writes <, >, or =. The skill is comparing by place value, tens digits first, then ones, not guessing from how the numbers look.

  2. 2nd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    In second grade the pairs grow to three digits: compare hundreds, then tens, then ones. These sheets include equal pairs too, so your child has to check every place instead of assuming one number always wins.
