Dart Maths Made Easy

Hate chalking? Struggle to figure out what you've scored? This video provides a couple of suggestions to help you better add and subtract numbers in your head.

There are numerous tricks to help you perform simple arithmetic in your head. I'm only covering a couple, but I think they are the most important tricks you can learn if you struggle to add and subtract without a calculator.

They are simple short cuts, but I found they sound complicated as I tried to explain them. So, don't be daunted on the first time through the video. Watch it a few times if that's what it takes to grasp the principal. And then, if you're serious about improving, practice, practice, practice.

Do not think of a treble as a treble, for example, do not think of treble 18 as treble 18 but instead think of it as 54, once you have learned this the maths starts to get a bit easier. For example you have a finish of 81, think of it as 57+24 rather than treble 19 double 12 you will learn the finishes quicker doing it this way, and if you add 60 to 81 you now also know the finish for 141 as well as 81.

This is the simplest form of all the tutorial..salute to the uploader

Own voice - I do much more complicated maths in my day to day yet struggle with the basics. I know as I used to play darts and the words your turn to score filled me with dread, especially after a few drinks 🥴

Such a helpful video - I have always struggled with subtraction, especially so when involving odd numbers; your recommendation of rounding up is a far more approachable method for my brain than anything else I've tried. Thank you!!

This is the best info I've found to deal with training myself to add and subtract at darts. Thanks heaps.

I prefer just doing it traditionally if I'm writing it down, but in your head this is quite simple and effective. Cheers

You can also add the 10s first, then add the single digits
(60+54+25>6+5+2=13(0) and 9=139

The amazon customer service rep for returns 🤣🤣🤣 lol!. I've made a few returns myself. Nice to hear you again!

Please go back to the original. So much more enthusiasm. Happy to see a new video. Hope to see more in the near future. Helped me so much. I go back and watch them regularly. Thanks

I shall really try this method from now on

I find it easier to not use rounding. It's an extra step. It may be automatic for some, but so is what I do. With addition, if the second digit's sum is >= 10, just add 1 to one of the first numbers. If you're familiar with how it works, you can just 'know' what the last digit will be. Say the first two darts are 60 and 15. You know that is 75. Third dart is 57. 5 + 7 is greater than 10, so add 1 to one of the first digits. i.e. 7 and 6.... You know that 7 + 6 = 13 and 7 + 5 ends with 2, so you have 132. Note: The 5 + 7 refers to the 75 and 57, not the digits of 57. I could've used different numbers for the example, but didn't feel like rewriting it.

As Russ would say, HUNDRED and EIGHTY".

Tricked me with 388 instead of 368! But your rules worked to find the error. Nice video.

Thks for sharing i do not add and subtract fast that's why i did not make courige to play this game, if you have more videos please share them with us,
like you sad the more you practice the more you learn.

I find rounding too time consuming, but that is me. I do the maths left to right, automatically accounting for borrowing or carrying. 501 - 85 for instance : 49 - 8 = 41, 1 - 5 (11 - 5) is 6. 416.

Thank u so damn much and I’m not even done watching this video!

[Its_A_London_Thing]

Seriously, seriously helpful video. I have Dyscalculia and I try to use the rounding up method too. I struggle massively with odd numbers, numbers in general, and even simple maths - it just frazzles my head. This video helped me a bit more with understanding how to do it slightly more quickly than I'm able to now.

I've also screenshotted the image of the dartboard with the values on them, printed it out on photo paper, and have stuck it on the wall next to my board.

I will have flick through your channel to see if you have more videos like this one - hopefully with you speaking in your normal voice! 😂

Cheers mate.

Or I’ll just keep a calculator handy and put up with the hell.

FYI: Triple and treble mean the same thing
