Hi Darryl, the 5 are: strictly less than (<), strictly greater than (>), less than or equal to (<=) greater than or equal to (>=) and different to (≠). Hope that helps!

The 5 that we use most are
1) Greater than
2) Less that
3) Equal to
4) Greater than or equal to
5) less than or equal to
There is also an identity (like an equals but with three lines instead of two). This is usually used in algebra - you can find this on a higher paper.
We can express inequalities as symbols or number lines or even be asked to solve an inequality.

There are five types of inequality in Maths as follows:

Fortunately there is only one equality, which means there are plenty of inequalities! So,
A scalene triangle, its the left out triangle where none of the sides are equal!
But technically the definitions of inequality are not equal to, greater than, less than, greater than or equal and less than or equal.
The last two might be equal, but cannot be assumed.
