What's New

This version has been updated to recommended settings. It adds a few new features to help students better understand what a mathematical conjecture is and how Goldbach's Conjecture can be tested but so far has not been proven.

App Description

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.
