Have we seen these signs before?

<,\ >,\ \le,\ \ge

These are inequality signs

2<\ 6\ means\ 2\ is\ LESS\ than\ 6

6>2\ means\ GREATER\ \left(more\right)\ than\ 2

The "mouth" always faces the bigger side!

Multiple Choice

Which inequality should go in the middle?

3\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4

What might be the difference between

$<\ and\ >\ compared\ to\ \le\ and\ge?$

If the inequality sign has a line under it, it means "or equal to"

$2\le6\ means\ 2\ is\ less\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ 6$ $6\ge2\ means\ 6\ is\ greater\ than\ or\ equal\ to\ 2$

$<is\ less\ than$
$\le is\ less\ than\ or\ equal\ to$

$>is\ greater\ than$

\ge\ is\ greater\ than\ or\ equal\ to

*Remember the mouth always face the bigger side*

Multiple Choice

$x\ \le\ 6$

How would you read this?

x is LESS than 6

x is LESS than OR EQUAL 6

x is GREATER than 6

x is GREATER than OR EQUAL to 6

If x must be LESS THAN or EQUAL to 6? What could x equal?

X could equal 6 OR any number less than 6.

It could equal 6 or 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 or 0

With an inequality, there is always MORE THAN 1 answer!
