Comparing Numbers: Greater Than, Less Than, and Equal To

In this video, Mr. Alligator introduces the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. He explains how to use these comparison signs by opening his mouth towards the larger number and pointing the back of his mouth towards the smaller number. The video includes several examples with fish, leaves, boats, kites, popsicles, ladybirds, mangoes, and birds to illustrate these concepts. Viewers are encouraged to practice identifying which numbers are greater, less, or equal. The video concludes with a summary and farewell from Mr. Alligator.
