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.
