About this resource
We are always searching for engaging ways to teach our students new skills and review skills that they already know! This 2-page worksheet will certainly provide your students with the practice they need to deepen their understanding.
Students will practise with More Than, Less Than, or Equal To with this printable. The objective is for students to be able to understand and use the symbols < > and =.
This worksheet is most appropriate for Year 3 students. You may have Year 4 students who need the additional practice.
There are 2 pages included and each page has 3 boxes of problems on it.
On the first page, students will:
1. Put the correct symbols ( < > or = ) between each pair of numbers.
2. Put in the missing numbers to make the number sentence correct.
3. Find and mark the mistakes in the completed number sentences.
On the second page, students will:
1. Put the symbols in to make the number sentences correct. They will have to solve the addition or subtraction problems first to decide which symbol they need to use.
2. Complete these number sentences. There is an addition sentence on the left side of the symbol.
3. Write number sentences of their own using the symbols.
You can easily print and laminate these pages, so they retain their durability for repeated use. Students can write answers with a dry-wipe marker.
This will make a great maths centre or small group activity.
This worksheet set is also great as an assessment.
I hope you enjoy!
