Less Than Greater Than Song

Four-hundred-thirty two and eight-hundred-twenty four The gator eats the one that's worth more He looks at the place values from left to right Eight's the greatest hundred's place, so he takes a big bite The hungry alligator eats the number that is greater The number that is least is never part of his feast Three-hundred-fifty five and three-hundred-thirty two The gator eats the one that's worth more He looks at the place values from left to right Five's the greatest ten's place, so he takes a big bite The hungry alligator eats the number that is greater The number that is least is never part of his feast One-hundred-forty five and one-hundred-forty nine The gator eats the one that's worth more He looks at the place values from left to right Nine's the greatest one's place, so he takes a big bite The hungry alligator eats the number that is greater The number that is least is never part of his feast Now the numbers are the same on both sides The gator wants to eat, but he can't decide Neither is greater or less It's a perfect tie So the alligator writes an equal sign The hungry alligator eats the number that is greater The number that is least is never part of his feast If there's a line underneath the greater than sign Greater than or equal to is how the sign is defined I'll write a line underneath the less than sign And less than or equal to is the name of the design Hi there I'm an alligator So, let's keep this snappy I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you That the greater than symbol goes from big to small And its called the greater than symbol The less than symbol goes from small to big And it's called the less than symbol The larger number always goes on the open side of the angle For example, this reads as fifty is greater than ten And this is read as ten is less than fifty
