### meaning for a pupil

A dartboard is a round board, divided into numbered sections, at which you throw darts in the game of darts. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/D/dartboard/#m1)

### sense in the lessons

Common in pubs, games rooms and homes in the UK, Ireland, Australia and elsewhere. In maths, a dartboard gives practice in adding, doubling and trebling: the outer ring doubles a score, the inner ring trebles it, and the centre is the bull's-eye. Safety: darts are sharp — only throw when no one is near the board.

### examples

- We hung a dartboard in the garage. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/D/dartboard/#x1)

### note

Countable; one word. In a maths problem, a «double 5» = 10 and a «treble 5» = 15; the outer bull = 25 and the bull's-eye = 50 points; the highest score with three darts is 180.
