Understanding the concepts of "greater than" and "less than" is fundamental for children aged 7-8 because it forms the basis of arithmetic and problem-solving skills essential for everyday life and future academic success. At this developmental stage, children are beginning to grasp more abstract math concepts, and learning to compare numbers cultivates critical thinking and analytical abilities.

Parents and teachers should care about these concepts as they lay the groundwork for understanding more complex mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They enable children to make sense of quantities and measurements, which are paramount in real-world contexts like cooking, shopping, or managing time.

Furthermore, reinforcing these concepts helps develop a child's number sense—the intuitive feel for numbers and their relationships. This intuitive grasp fosters confidence and encourages a positive attitude towards math, decreasing math anxiety and thereby contributing to a more successful educational experience.

Moreover, practicing greater than and less than within the classroom not only aligns with curriculum standards but also paves the way for children to excel in standardized testing and deeper mathematical explorations. Thus, giving attention to these fundamental concepts supports overall cognitive development and equips children with essential life skills.
