In Year One we have been learning the language of greater than and less than.  We have been counting amounts and labelling them with less or more.  We have been learning the symbols that represent greater than and less than and also been discussing what the equals sign actually means.  We sang the song ‘The equal sign is a balance’ which has really helped the children to understand this concept. We also used balance scales to show this.  Ask your child to sing you the song at home!
