より = a little hard to translate directly, but it sort of means "more than" in the sense of "I like Bob more than Jim" or "This one is cheaper than that one."
ボブの方がジムより好きです
これの方がそれより安いです
It's got other meanings too.
以上 = more than (something)
5歳以上 = five years old and up
一週間以上 = more than a week
必要以上 = more than (you) need
以上ですか = Anything more?
