Kids will have fun learning about greater than, less than and equal to with this inequalities song for children. This song not only teaches the infamous "hungry alligator", but it takes the time to explain what the symbols actually mean, so that kids can connect the symbol with the concept. Enjoy!

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

Heres the main thing to know about the hungry alligator

He always eats the number thats 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 thats smaller

I would like to tell you more but Im running out of breath

Sometimes it can be hard to remember which symbol is which

So heres a simple little tip:

The less than symbol is shaped like an "L"

Just remember "L" for "less" thats how you can tell

"But what about the equal sign?"

Now heres 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 theyre 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!

Greater than, less than, equal to
