The way my mind works is I find it faster to reconstruct the meaning every time rather than attempt to memorize which one is said which way.

Example: 3<5

My mind:

  1. 3 is the small number / 5 is the large number.

  2. How do I say that in a sentence?

  3. Three is less than five.

I do the math, not remember the definition.
