Counting in 2s is the earliest multiplication skill taught which also helps children when dividing. It is usually practiced regularly, in order for the skill to be fluent, and children are also taught to recognize that multiples of two are even. Once the 2 times table is familiar, children will learn how to use the multiplication facts to solve division questions. For example, if they know that 2 x 6 = 12, then they may also recognize that 12 ÷ 6 = 2 or 12 ÷ 2 = 6

Use this quiz to practice multiplying and dividing by 2.

1. What is the next number in this sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ?
[ ] 14
[ ] 11
[ ] 12
[ ] 20
2. Cars have 2 headlights. How many headlights will 5 cars have?
[ ] 10
[ ] 25
[ ] 50
[ ] 12
3. I put 20 children into pairs. How many pairs can I make?
[ ] 2, because 20 ÷ 10 = 2
[ ] 5, because 20 ÷ 10 = 5
[ ] 20, because 20 ÷ 2 = 20
[ ] 10, because 20 ÷ 2 = 10
4. What is 20 x 2?
[ ] 22
[ ] 40
[ ] 10
[ ] 12
5. I know that 2 x 15 = 30. What else do I know?
[ ] 30 x 2 = 15
[ ] 2 x 15 = 20
[ ] 30 x 15 = 2
[ ] 30 ÷ 15 = 2
6. Which is the odd fact out?
[ ] 6 x 2 = 12
[ ] 12 ÷ 6 = 2
[ ] 12 x 2 = 6
[ ] 12 ÷ 2 = 6
7. What is half of 60?
[ ] 2
[ ] 20
[ ] 3
[ ] 30
8. How many 2s are there in 28?
[ ] 16
[ ] 14
[ ] 10
[ ] 8
9. Is 45 in the 2 times table?
[ ] No, because it is an odd number
[ ] Yes, because it is an even number
[ ] Yes, because it has a 4 at the beginning
[ ] No, because it is too big
10. Doubling is the same as...
[ ] dividing by 2
[ ] halving
[ ] adding the number to itself
[ ] subtracting over and over

Math: Elementary School: Grades 3, 4 and 5 Quiz - Multiplying and Dividing by 2 (Answers)
1. What is the next number in this sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ?
[ ] 14
[ ] 11
[x] 12
[ ] 20
The numbers are going up in twos
2. Cars have 2 headlights. How many headlights will 5 cars have?
[x] 10
[ ] 25
[ ] 50
[ ] 12
5 x 2 = 10
3. I put 20 children into pairs. How many pairs can I make?
[ ] 2, because 20 ÷ 10 = 2
[ ] 5, because 20 ÷ 10 = 5
[ ] 20, because 20 ÷ 2 = 20
[x] 10, because 20 ÷ 2 = 10
We also know that 10 x 2 = 20
4. What is 20 x 2?
[ ] 22
[x] 40
[ ] 10
[ ] 12
Multiplying by 2 is the same as doubling a number
5. I know that 2 x 15 = 30. What else do I know?
[ ] 30 x 2 = 15
[ ] 2 x 15 = 20
[ ] 30 x 15 = 2
[x] 30 ÷ 15 = 2
If 2 groups of 15 makes 30, then 30 divided into 15 groups will mean 2 in each group
6. Which is the odd fact out?
[ ] 6 x 2 = 12
[ ] 12 ÷ 6 = 2
[x] 12 x 2 = 6
[ ] 12 ÷ 2 = 6
12 x 2 = 24 not 6!
7. What is half of 60?
[ ] 2
[ ] 20
[ ] 3
[x] 30
Finding half is the same as dividing by 2. Knowing 6 ÷ 2 = 3 helps with 60 ÷ 2 = 30
8. How many 2s are there in 28?
[ ] 16
[x] 14
[ ] 10
[ ] 8
Counting up in 2s until you reach 28 is helpful, as is halving 20 and halving 8
9. Is 45 in the 2 times table?
[x] No, because it is an odd number
[ ] Yes, because it is an even number
[ ] Yes, because it has a 4 at the beginning
[ ] No, because it is too big
Multiples of 2 end with 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0
10. Doubling is the same as...
[ ] dividing by 2
[ ] halving
[x] adding the number to itself
[ ] subtracting over and over
To double 10, you would add 10 to itself: 10 + 10 = 20
