2 Times table

Table of 2 is a basic table and is very easy to recite and learn. It is important for students to learn 2 times table. It makes mental arithmetic easier. Learning table of 2 promotes a better understanding of number and number relationships. These skills are crucial for understanding complex maths problems with confidence.

Multiplication Table of 2

You can view multiplication as telling you how many groups of something you have. So, when you have multiplication of 2, you will have two groups of something. For example, 2 x 8 tells you that you have two groups of 8. To find the answer, you add your groups together. So, 2 x 8 turns into 8 + 8, which turns into 16. So, 2 x 8 is equal to 16.

1 × 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 (multiple of 2)
1 × 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4 (multiple of 2)
1 × 3 + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6 (multiple of 2)
1 × 4 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 (multiple of 2)
1 × 5 + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10 (multiple of 2) and so on.

1. When a number is multiplied by 2, the answer is twice or double the number.
2. To double means to add a number to itself.

2 x 6

2 x 6 tells us that we have two groups of 6. To find the answer, we will add the groups together. So, 2 x 6 turns into 6 + 6, which turns into 12. So, 2 x 6 is equal to 12.
