The Darts Math program was created in 2015 by Pál “Penge” Székely. He drew inspiration from his own experiences as a practicing teacher and his career as a professional darts player.
One of Penge’s main motivations was the stagnant or worsening trend shown in PISA reports, both in Hungary and abroad, which required a modern solution.
Thanks to him, countless schools and institutions have used the program not only in Hungary but also in several foreign countries.
In 2018, a new era began for Darts Math. With the collaboration of The Path Sportmanagement office and the support of Hiventures venture capital investor, the previous basic version received a completely new look and concept.
Darts Math Ltd. was established, and from then on, the program operates based on a planned business model, and is currently available with a new design and new features.
The creator of Darts Math is Pál “Penge” Székely, a multiple professional darts champion and a math teacher. His many years of experience show that the best results in teaching mathematics to elementary and older children can be achieved by using playful methods.
Besides being a very simple and exciting game, darts is also a sport based on very strict mathematical principles. Players need to be able to add, subtract, and multiply in their heads in a fraction of a second. Practicing the game makes these operations automatic.
