This is a fantastic tool to help students remember which way the greater than and less than symbols go. I remember struggling with this as a kid for some reason. I really had to stop and think about which way each symbol went. This song is perfect for helping students remember the difference. It has a catchy chorus they can play in their heads until the different symbols become second nature. The beat is fun and will have your kids dancing along, which is great for kinesthetic learners! The song also includes great practice examples. This can lead to a game you could play with your students doing rapid-fire or flash card style practice. The lyrics are below the video. Enjoy!
