What this sheet practices
Students compare two numbers and choose <, > or =. The open side of the symbol always faces the larger number; saying the comparison aloud ('seven is greater than four') links the symbol to meaning.
Errors worth watching for
- Reading > as 'less than' because it looks like an arrow.
- Comparing the digits left to right without checking place value in larger numbers.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

About this generator
What is a simple way to remember the symbols?
The symbol is a hungry mouth: it opens toward the bigger number.
Can we compare negative numbers?
Not in this generator. Grade-level comparison here stays at zero and above.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
