Just wanted to pass on a little math trick that I read from a book eons ago to help children remember which way the <> signs go.
Have your child imagine that the sign > is a hungry, greedy alligator and that the open end is his mouth. He is greedy so when faced with two numbers, he will point his mouth towards the larger number.
Example: 42 72 hence: 42 < 72
