big > small
as in the symbol is big and open on one side and small and closed on the other. It could not possibly be more literal than that.
YES!
Read left to right, they make perfect sense:
Less than is <
Greater than is >
They all make visual sense:
=
≠
±
<
That was not how it was taught to my developing elementary brain.
Sure, but if you regularly use it, wouldn't you think more about the symbol?
And wouldn't it make more sense to an adult brain to see one side wider and one side smaller and continue the line in order to understand which size is bigger?
