How it works: a quick refresher
The rules this worksheet practices, then one problem worked from start to finish.
| Strategy | How it works |
|---|---|
| < means smaller | The point faces the smaller number. 3 < 5 means 3 is smaller than 5. |
| > means bigger | The open side faces the bigger number. 7 > 4 means 7 is bigger than 4. |
| = means the same | When both numbers match, write =. 5 = 5. |
| Count if you are not sure | Say the numbers, or count up. The one you say later is more. |

Common questions
- Is there an answer key?
- Yes. Every worksheet has a matching answer key with each answer worked on the same grid or layout as the question. The worksheet code printed at the bottom of each page pairs a sheet with its key.
- What do < and > mean?
- < means the first number is smaller. > means the first number is bigger. = means the two numbers are the same.
- Why do some problems use the same number twice?
- A few pairs are equal, such as 5 and 5. Children should write = for those. Most pairs are two different numbers.
- How many different versions are there?
- About a million per skill. Each time you press the button the problems are generated fresh, so you can print a different version for every student, a retake, or another night of practice.
- Are the worksheets free?
