Fascinating Fact:

Three bikes each have 2 wheels, so 3 × 2 = 6 wheels. Count in twos, 2, 4, 6.

In KS1 Maths, the 2 times table helps children understand doubling and counting in equal groups of two. It also supports learning about even numbers and sharing objects fairly.

  • Double: To add a number to itself, like 4 + 4 = 8.
  • Even number: A number that can be split into two equal groups with none left over.
  • Group: A set of objects counted together, like 2 apples in one group.
What is the 2 times table?

The 2 times table shows what you get when you count in twos, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and it helps you multiply by 2 quickly.

How do you explain the 2 times table to a child?

You can explain it as counting pairs, like two socks make a pair, and each new pair adds 2 more, so the total goes up by 2 each time.

Why does the 2 times table help with doubling?

Multiplying by 2 means you have two equal groups of the same number, which is the same idea as doubling, like 7 × 2 equals double 7.

8 + 8 = 16, so 8 x 2 = 16

Any number multiplied by 1 gives the same number, so 1 x 1 = 1, 2 x 1 = 2, 3 x 1 = 3 etc.

9 x 2 =
16

9 x 2 is the same as 9 + 9. Both come to 18

To multiply a number by 10 just put a 0 on the end of it!
