The Darts Challenge

Dartboard.png

Sabina has three darts.

​

She throws them at the dart board.

​

They all land on the dartboard and score.

​

The darts could land in the same coloured ring.

​

What is the most Sabina could score?

​

Can you find five other possible scores?

​

 

Helpful Hints

​

All three darts could land in the blue outer ring and score 3 points each.

So she scores a total of 9.

​

3 + 3 + 3 = 9

​

OR

​

The first two darts could land in the blue outer ring and the third dart could land in the red inner ring.

​

So she scores a total of 10.

​

3 + 3 + 4 = 10

​

OR

​

The first two darts could land in the blue outer ring and the third dart could land in the yellow inner ring.

​

So she scores a total of 13.

​

3 + 3 + 7 = 13

​

Continue to work systematically to find all the possible answers.
