0Remember what we learned about the alligator’s mouth. It always opens towards the larger number.

0Example: I have 7 _ 9, < would go in the blank. 7 is less than 9.

0One more example: 8 _ 2, > would go in the blank. 8 is greater.

What about a tie?

0 No, not that kind of tie! If the first and second number are the same then they are equal.

0 Example 9 _ 9, = would go in the blank. 9 equals 9. It’s a tie, get it?
