I don’t know about everyone else but before I figured out the visual clues of the symbols on my own, the only explanation I ever got was “> is greater than, < is less than” but I was a kid and there was nothing stopping me from interpreting “10 < 100” as “100 is less than 10” which confused the hell out of me.

I suppose it gets easier if you read it from left to right, which kids tend not to do at first for some reason. At least not my kids.
