The Story & Vision
Dartboard Maths is an African innovation created by professional darts player Devon Petersen, the first African to compete on the PDC circuit. Inspired by his personal journey of perseverance and international excellence, the program reimagines traditional numeracy instruction by blending the energy of sport with foundational mathematics. By converting abstract numbers into interactive, spatial desk games, Dartboard Maths turns math into an accessible, confidence-building experience for learners across all grade levels.
TOOLKIT
Desk Dartboard
A compact, safe dartboard designed for desks or tables, perfect for interactive maths games and challenges.
Encourages mental arithmetic, number identification,focus, and hands-on engagement in learning.
Darty Calculator
The Darty Calculator is a unique tool that helps learners multiply and divide.
You will understand how the answer was achieved during Dartboard Maths games that require multiplication and division methodology whilst reinforcing mental arithmetic by connecting patterns with real-time maths operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Token Pack
A set of colourful tokens used for scoring, team play, or game variations.
Helps reinforce number recognition, counting, and strategic thinking.
Teacher Transformation
Delivery Framework
Delivery Framework
Uses the "I Do, We Do, You Do" model to guide educators step-by-step through modeling, group practice, and independent assessment.
Spatial Literacy
Spatial Literacy
Equips teachers with code-like directional cues and "Brain Photos" techniques to help students transition from slow linear counting to rapid spatial calculation.
Adaptable Differentiation
Adaptable Differentiation
Allows facilitators to modify difficulty levels on the fly using color-coded tokens and zonal multipliers, supporting struggling students and challenging advanced learners in the same lesson.
Turnkey Integration
Turnkey Integration
Reduces preparation time with ready-to-use lesson plans, structured activity guides, and digital tracking tools.
