Key Origin Doubles and Their Function

Key Origin Doubles and Their Function

Practical Steps: 

Teach doubles in order:

• D20 → D10 → D5

• D18 → D9 

• D16 → D8 → D4 → D2 → D1

• D14 → D7 

• D12 → D6 → D3

• Use Dartboard Maths DESK DARTBOARD TO show check-out paths. 

• Practice “Double Out” circuits where students must finish on specific doubles. 

• Run “Pressure Check-Out” where they must hit the double in 9 darts or less. 

Implementation Strategies: 

• Create a “doubles ladder” poster with levels for students to climb. 

• Group students by target double to reduce pressure. 

• Introduce storytelling (e.g., “D16 is your best friend when under pressure!”). 

• Have “Double of the Day” and build mini-games around it.
