Modes of Play

There are 5 different modes of play in Number Munchers to advance your mathematical skills. These modes include Multiples, Factors, Primes, Equalities, and Inequalities.

Multiples - The objective is to find multiples of the number given. If presented a 3, you would select numbers like 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

Factors - In this mode you find factors divisible by the number given. If the number is 12, you would choose to eat 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
