Mathematics

Greater than Less than equal to is a Grade 4 mathematics worksheet that helps students compare whole numbers using the symbols >, <, and =. The 15-question set includes multiple-select items that ask students to identify numbers greater or less than a given value, along with multiple-choice questions requiring them to choose comparison symbols, interpret comparison language, and determine whether two numbers are equal. Students work with two- and three-digit numbers, including comparisons such as 56 and 89, 730 and 805, and 777 and 777. The worksheet reinforces the connection between verbal statements—such as “greater than,” “less than,” and “the same”—and their mathematical symbols. It is a free printable worksheet with a complete answer key, making it suitable for guided practice, independent work, or a quick check of students’ understanding.

FAQs

What does the Greater than Less than equal to worksheet cover?

This Grade 4 worksheet builds students’ ability to compare whole numbers and select the correct >, <, or = symbol. Its multiple-select questions ask students to identify numbers greater or less than a benchmark, while its multiple-choice items connect comparison language with symbols and include two- and three-digit comparisons.

How can I use this worksheet to teach greater than, less than, and equal to?

Introduce the meaning of >, <, and = with a few number pairs, then have students explain each comparison in words before completing the worksheet. For the multiple-select items, ask students to test every option against the benchmark; for symbol questions such as 730 __ 805 or 777 __ 777, have them justify the sign by comparing the numbers.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this comparison worksheet?

Students may reverse > and < when converting phrases such as “65 is greater than 45” into a symbol, or confuse the symbol for equality with the symbols for greater than and less than. They may also select only one answer in a multiple-select item when more than one number meets the condition, or overlook that identical numbers require =.

How do I assign and grade this worksheet?

You can use this greater-than, less-than, and equal-to worksheet as a printable PDF or assign it as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key for checking the multiple-select and multiple-choice responses, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.

How can I differentiate this worksheet for my students?

Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to increase font size or spacing around the comparison statements and symbol choices, or enable a dyslexia-friendly font. You can also translate the worksheet into another language while students work on the same whole-number comparison tasks.
