“On the 3rd of July, Devon Petersen did a Dartboard maths Demo at our school. We have various children with different abilities and each child enjoyed the demo. The facilitators assisting were intrigued with the method and seeing mathematics through movement. The movement helped children retain information and we witnessed Grade 2 children easily add and subtract huge numbers. We cannot wait for this to be officially released so that mathsematics cannot only be fun but something they can take with them everywhere they go. It’s brilliant!”

Who we are…

We believe in turning numbers into an exciting game!

Founded by Devon Petersen, South African professional darts player and pundit for Sky Sports, Dartboard maths was borne from his passion for education and the idea that sports can be a powerful tool for learning. We use darts and their equipment to create a structured, hands-on approach that helps children conquer number anxiety, build confidence in their maths skills, and make maths a natural and enjoyable part of life.
