An inequality is a number sentence that has a left hand side, a greater than or less than sign, and a right hand side.  The left hand side must be greater (or less) than the right side.

Example:   3 + 4   <   6 + 6    (7 is less than 12)

Try these:    1 + 3   >   ___ + 1

                   9 - 3   <   13 - ___

                   11 + ___   >   7 + 6

                   18 - 9   <   15 - ___


For 4th and 5th graders:  Do what is in the parenthesis first!

                                         2 x 7   >   5 x ____

                                         6 x ___   <   8 x ___

                                        (4 x 6) - 12    >   (3 x 7) - ___

                                        4 x (___ + 5)   <   30
