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.
