2. Choose <, > or = to make this true: 35 − 15 ○ 23
3. Choose <, > or = to make this true: 26 − 19 ○ 4
4. Choose <, > or = to make this true: 22 + 18 ○ 43
5. Choose <, > or = to make this true: 9 + 22 ○ 34
Answer key · Comparing with <, > and =
1. =
Work out the left side: 27 − 14 = 13.
13 is equal to 13.
27 − 14 = 13
2. <
Work out the left side: 35 − 15 = 20.
20 is less than 23.
35 − 15 < 23
3. >
Work out the left side: 26 − 19 = 7.
7 is greater than 4.
26 − 19 > 4
4. <
Work out the left side: 22 + 18 = 40.
40 is less than 43.
22 + 18 < 43
5. <
Work out the left side: 9 + 22 = 31.
31 is less than 34.
9 + 22 < 34
