They are symbols used to express a relationship between the values of two numbers.
For example: Two is less than four, so 2 < 4 ; Ten is greater than two, so 10 > 2
The narrow end, or point, of the symbol always 'points' to the smallest number; the open end, or largest, 'opens' to the larger number.

They mean that the expression to the left of the sign is greater than or less than (as appropriate) the expression to the right of the sign.
Inequalities have greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to signs. Equations have an equal sign.
