Think of it like this... 1 < 2, (one is smaller than 2) and 2 > 1 (two is greater than 1).
The arrow point is always next to the smaller number!

Well, it's like an aligator eating the bigger one. But to know which one is greater than (>) and which is less than (<) has to do with what you start with and end with. For example: 8>4 means eight is greater than four and 4<8 means four is less than eight. That's it.

You should be able to work this out, if you know that = is the "equal" sign. An equal sign with a cross through it is the "does not equal" sign. Divide 99 by 11 ... what do you get? ... 9. Right? Divide 945 by 45 ... what do you get? ... 21. Right? Therefore 99 divided by 11 is not equal to 945 divided by 45. Try learning the signs the teacher wants you to learn. They're just shortforms, a lot like the shortforms you use while txt msgg. :-)

The less than symbol (<) looks like an "L" when written and "less than" begins with an "L". This will help you remember.
