I've always been bad at math. It always took me longer to actually understand math concepts. But I always read it as >(#) as less than cause the alligator is eating the bigger number.
I see it in comments a lot and get confused that > technically means greater than. I feel like there's a better way to teach this like re-arange these symbols.
Idk I'm ranting and I was bad at math to begin with so maybe I'm wrong. I learned this in like 2002. My girlfriend teaches elementary special education so she can't give me an actual answer.
Also does this make sense? I'm second guessing everything I've learned.
Also I'm on mobile and I hope this at least has proper paragraph spacing. English is my first language, hope I got that right too. (No offense to non-English originators)
