A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When teaching greater than less than and equal to, take note of the following:

    • Use visual guides, such as the hungry crocodile, to cement the symbols’ meaning.
    • Make sure students are learning the language of math by using the correct terminology, e.g., greater than, rather than “the crocodile is eating the bigger number.”
    • If you’d prefer to skip the crocodile learning method, you can point out that the less than symbol makes an L. Writing “<ess” on the board.
