Six pairs of coin sets. Children count each side, write the total underneath, then write greater than, less than or equal to in the circle. The pairs are chosen so that more coins does not always mean more money: three nickels and a penny is less than one quarter. One pair is exactly equal. Page 2 is the answer key with both totals and the sign.
