To understan you need to read it
6 is less than 10
6 < 10
6 is greater than 3
6 > 3
That's why it is called a "less than" sign. Every math problem can be read like a sentence in this manner.

This "<" is the less than sign. I was always told to remember it by the reminder: The crocodile always eats the bigger number.
Ex. 5<9
Basically the less than sign is supposed to be the croc's mouth.

<
It can be used like 3<7. Get it? To remember this, think that the alligator mouth (either > or <) wants the bigger thing to eat. So it opens up at the bigger number. (18.5>9)=18.5 is greater than 9.

I always remembered it as a mouth trying to eat the greater value

< the closed point always faces left and the open side always opens up to the right.
