Creepy Counting
The monsters are going stargazing. Can you help them count the number of stars
that are in the sky? Type in the correct number and press the ENTER key to confirm.
Giants and Munchkins
Monsters come in different sizes, and numbers represent different values. Depending
on the level you choose, you will be asked to compare different items. In level
1, you compare the size of two monsters; in level 2, you compare the value of
two numbers; and in level 3, you must decide which is the biggest or the smallest
of three numbers.

Equation See Saw
Recess time! Even while playing, the monsters are still solving problems. One holds
the left half of an equation problem while the other holds the right half. Balance
the monsters by typing in the number that correctly completes the equation.
Tricky Travel
The monsters have hit the road! Can you help them find their way? When they
reach a fork in the road, an equation appears at the bottom of the screen, and two
numbers will appear in the two possible paths. Select the correct answer by using
the mouse or the left/right arrow keys to lead the monster down the right path. Only
you can help the monsters complete their travels!
Phantom Equations
Ready to test your memory? A sequence of numbers and mathematical signs will
appear and disappear on the screen one by one. Remember the numbers and signs
and calculate the result of the phantom equation. Type in the result and press
the ENTER key to confirm.
Shape Stroll
As the monster takes his stroll, he runs across objects that remind him of geometric
shapes. Can you guess which ones? The object will appear on the screen and three
geometric shapes will scroll through. Use your mouse or cursor buttons to choose
the shape that best represents the object. Press the ENTER key to confirm your answer.
