How to use this worksheet
- Before starting, say the doubles your child knows (double 3 is 6, double 7 is 14) and point out that 2 × 3 means the same.
- Solve problems 1 to 19 first. Together they contain every fact with 2 exactly once: 2 × 1 to 2 × 10 and 1 × 2 to 10 × 2.
- Then do problems 20 to 30, which repeat eleven of those facts in a new order.
- Check with the answer page and time a second try a few days later.
What this worksheet teaches
The 2 times table is usually one of the first to learn, because it is the same as doubling. The page includes both orders of each fact, 2 × 7 and 7 × 2, so children see that the answer does not depend on the order. Problems follow in shuffled order, and the same problem never appears twice in a row, so answers have to be recalled, not continued from the line above.
Doubling is the 2 times table
Multiplying by 2 means taking a number twice: 2 × 8 is 8 + 8 = 16. Children who know their doubles already know this table. Every answer ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, which gives a quick check: an odd answer to a problem with 2 is always wrong. Doubles also prepare for the 4 times table (double, then double again) and the 8 times table.
