Since being launched in 2022, Bullseye Maths has proven hugely popular with students who have enjoyed in-person sessions or completed the downloadable worksheets.

Bullseye Maths won the Bronze award at the 2023 Sports Business Awards for "Best Sports Community or CSR Scheme, and feedback found that 86% of pupils found maths easier to learn with darts, while 83% found it more engaging.

Talking about the initiative, PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter said: "For many people, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will be long-lasting. As a sport that requires a degree of numerical ability, when we heard about the impact that had been seen with children’s numeracy we wanted to see what we could do to support young children and families with maths.

"We hope the games, tip, tricks and player stories will help make learning maths fun and inspire youngsters to believe in their ability.

"A dartboard is like a big puzzle with a number of different combinations. It's up to you how you get to the needed number, and that’s a lot of the fun. By playing darts and unlocking the combinations, you are doing simple maths and the more you play, the easier numbers and patterns will come to you."

The PDC has worked closely with selected partners to develop Bullseye Maths and provide appropriate material for Key Stage 2 students, and sessions are delivered by the Junior Darts Corporation's Education Team, supported by Winmau, the official equipment provider to the PDC.

Bullseye Maths sponsors Vanquis also support National Numeracy, and the scheme has supported National Numeracy Day as well as Numeracy Awareness Week in recent years.

Darts players are great athletes and are also really good at maths - but that's not always been the case for them.
