Ross Smith helps school children with math: "I hope the pupils can be inspired to enjoy maths more in the future"

Ross Smith, who won his first major last year with the European Championship, was a guest at a school in Leicester last week as part of the PDC Bullseye Maths program.
This program aims to get schoolchildren better at math through darts-related exercises. "I really enjoyed the Bullseye Maths session and it was superb to see the kids having fun and getting involved," Smith said. "It's trying to make learning more enjoyable for children; darts is a great game and it's a great skill to have the maths. It was a privilege to be part of the Bullseye Maths session and I hope the pupils can be inspired to enjoy maths more in the future."
The head of Martinshaw Primary School in Leicester, Neil Elson, also looks back with satisfaction, "It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to welcome the PDC to Martinshaw Primary School. The team working with our children were great and everyone had a super time improving their maths skills while also having fun playing darts."
"Other skills also came into play such as teamwork, resilience and empathy, but it was also great to see the children improve their fine motor skills as they honed in on their dart throwing accuracy. It was also a first for everyone to meet a professional darts champion - Ross Smith. He was super with the children and it was lovely that he was able to answer questions at the end. Many thanks for inviting us to take part in the initiative."

- Agreed, thebogeyman. Remember the boxing farce at this year's Olympics... a guy posing as a woman winning the Gold Medal, grim. They should do men who think they are women (separate) competition and award a pair of tight pants for the winner.MrYnyslas197125-10-2024
- What a paltry pay day. Is the Championship going to be on TV or YouTube. I still believe the BBC sunk the BDO when they dumped it for that ridiculous champions league that also died without trace. The prize money for the girls is terrible, why can't they win the same as the boys. It will hardly entice girls to enter the sport. Although hell knows what the future is for darts with the transgender craze.richieburnettrocks24-10-2024

- My god what a clown this guy is.... So REAL women should take pills to suppress natural processes to make it equal as he does not have such symptoms? And no: you are not winning because you put in the time and money, you are winning because you have an unfair advantage. Men play better than women, it is a fact. And let's not forget he was in the top 10 of the world in the boys earlier in life!DannyJ23-10-2024
