When Do Kids Start Learning Greater Than or Less Than?

Children typically begin learning the concept of “greater than” and “less than” in early elementary school, around ages 5 to 7. This skill is introduced after they have a solid foundation in counting and number recognition.

Practice with Worksheets (Kindergarten to Grade 1)

Worksheets present numbers in pairs or small sets, asking children to identify the larger or smaller number. For example:

• Comparing two numbers: 5 > 3 or 7 < 10.
• Filling in the correct symbol: 4 __ 6.

From Grade 2 and Beyond, they can do more complex activities of comparison of numbers.
