<, >, or =

right now, in math nicholas is working on greater, less than or equals by looking at the number only. when he was doing <, >, or = by looking at the number and objects, steven made him some alligators. the alligator wants to eat the bigger number so it faces the number it wants to eat. the mouth shows the correct symbol. the equals guy is underwater and can't decide which one he wants because they are both the same.
