Lyrics: Greater than, less than, equal to Greater than, less than, equal to These symbols are the ones you use For greater than, less than and equal to HEY! Greater than, less than, equal to Once upon a time there was a hungry alligator He loved to eat numbers so he figured out a way to Always get the biggest bite when the numbers were there He would stop for a second, take a look and compare Whichever number was the biggest of the two Was the one that he would eat, so just to review Here's the main thing to know about the hungry alligator He always eats the number that's greater, GREATER! Greater than, less than, equal to Greater than, less than, equal to These symbols are the ones you use For greater than, less than and equal to HEY! Greater than, less than, equal to The greater than symbol points to the right The less than symbol points to the left The symbol always points to the number that's smaller I would like to tell you more but I'm running out of breath Sometimes it can be hard to remember which symbol is which So here's a simple little tip: The less than symbol is shaped like an "L" Just remember "L" for "less" that's how you can tell "But what about the equal sign?" Now here's what it means when you see the equal sign: The value of the numbers is the same on both sides But on the other hand, greater than and less than Are called inequalities because they're not equal, man! Greater than, less than, equal to Greater than, less than, equal to These symbols are the ones you use For greater than, less than and equal to HEY!
