What was this "monster" math game from the early 2000s called?

As I was using Picmonic for gross anatomy, I was reminded of a computer game our sixth-grade math class played back in 2002 or 2003. The main characters were "monsters", and to advance in the game, you had to answer math-related questions. I seem to remember the name of the game starting with "Z"? I could have sworn it was "Zoonies", but the only results I get are for a Nintendo DS game. Our computers were Macs.

In my school we played Number Munchers on Apple II and Mac computers.

Best answer: Zoombinis?

Response by poster: Zoombinis was it! We may have had the later (3D) version of Number Munchers as well, but Zoombinis was the game I was thinking of!

FYI, the game's been remade for iOS and Android if you're feeling nostalgic.
