Learn more about who we are and the amazing origin story of Dartboard maths — from the PDC World Championships to primary school classrooms.

Meet Devon…

In the world of professional darts, Devon Petersen stands out not only for his impressive skills on the oche but also for his unforgettable entrances, dancing to the rhythm of Shakira’s Waka Waka.

As a proud South African and former darts champion, Devon has always believed that the thrill of the game goes beyond the bullseye.

It’s about precision, strategy, and the joy of a well-played match. It’s this excitement that Devon brings to the world of education with Dartboard maths.

From the oche to the classroom…

Devon’s journey to the top of the darts world began with humble beginnings.

Over they year, Devon honed his skills — taking the darts world by storm, qualifying for the PDC World Championship seven times, and reaching the last 16 on multiple occasions.

But it wasn’t just about the trophies and titles for Devon.

Along the way, he discovered many people, especially young ones, were intimidated by numbers. A pattern quickly emerged: number anxiety often kept them from enjoying the game he loved so much.

Inspired to make a difference, Devon embarked on a mission to combine his love for darts with education, creating a tool that would turn learning maths into a game itself.

The birth of Dartboard maths…

 

Enter Dartboard maths, a unique toolkit designed to help children conquer maths challenges in a fun, practical, and meaningful way.

The vision was simple: make maths as exciting as a nail-biting darts match.

Dartboard maths has been designed to transform lessons into hands-on, interactive experiences that captivate students and foster a genuine love for numbers because we believes that maths should be accessible to everyone.

This is why Dartboard maths offers a fresh alternative to traditional rote learning. Instead of memorising times tables, children engage in dynamic activities that encourage mental arithmetic and strategic thinking.

Our toolkit combines the best of both worlds, blending the excitement of darts with essential maths skills.

A game-changer in education…

Dartboard maths is more than just a tool; it’s an adventure for students, teachers, and parents alike.

It provides a structured way to instil long-term maths understanding, enabling children to apply their new skills in real-world scenarios.

Whether you’re a teacher looking to energise your classroom, a parent wanting to help your child excel, or a home educator searching for innovative resources, Dartboard maths is here to empower young minds to excel beyond expectations.

Our goal is to make maths an exciting and rewarding journey, building confidence and competence in every student.

With Devon’s expertise and dedication leading the way, Dartboard maths is committed to transforming how maths is taught and learned, one dart at a time.
