This dev failed first grade math when he can’t distinguish between < and >
bigger number go on bigger side of triangle. smaller number go on smaller side of triangle!
I memorized it like this:
Add another stroke to < and it becomes 4, smaller number Add another stroke to > and it becomes 7 (if you cross it in the middle like I do), greater number
I learnt it as "the mouth tries to eat the biggest number, so it faces towards the biggest number"
Wow, that's complicated xD
When you put numbers around it becomes really obvious.
1<2 = 1 is lower than 2. 1<2<3<4<5<6<7 4>3 = 4 is greater than 3. 9>8>7>6>5>4>...
