ProbSim vs Goldbach's Conjecture

ProbSim is a probability experiment simulator. You can tag fish, flip coins, roll dice, spin spinners, and draw marbles from urns. Predict the probability of a certain outcome, and see whether or not your prediction is supported by the experimental results. ProbSim also challenges you to solve some tricky and easily misunderstood probability problems involving birthdays, game shows, envelopes, coins, hats, urns, and apparent paradoxes.

Fun and Challenging! Goldbach's Conjecture introduces students to an idea that has baffled mathematicians for centuries. In 1742, a Russian mathematician named Christian Goldbach wrote a letter to Leonhard Euler in which he proposed a conjecture. The conjecture stated that all even numbers greater than two can be expressed as the sum of two primes. This app challenges the player to find two prime numbers to make a target even number. Completing the activity involves using mental math skills. Goldbach Conjecture is designed to be a quick math exercise that teachers can use to provide extra practice in problem solving and an enriching experience for their students. Special sound effects make the game fun to use and the interactive design facilitate problem solving strategies.
