2 Times Multiplication Table

Learning 2 times multiplication table is crucial for learners since it facilitates mental computation. Before the child enters secondary school, they should be able to use the table of two.

Learners who can multiply by two are better able to finish multiplication problems faster. A greater understanding of numbers and number relationships is promoted by learning the 2 times table. These abilities are essential for confidently grasping challenging mathematical concepts.

Age group when 2 times multiplication table are typically taught

Multiplication tables are taught to learners aged 6 to 8 years old or 2^nd or 3^rd grades (USA).

All learners should be able to recite the two times tables because it is an essential ability. All learners should master the 2 times multiplication table because it serves as the basis for all other multiplication tables for learners.

The multiplication table for 2 can be taught to learners the simplest way: by memorization. A 2 times table chart should be shown where the learners may see it frequently and read aloud to them until they remember it.

Tips to Master 2 Times Multiplication Table

Basic tables like the table of two are simple to memorize and recite. Let us find out how to learn the table of two. The following are some points to remember:

( a ) The two-times multiplication table only uses even numbers in its pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, etc. It is simple to learn the 2 times table since it is skip counting in increments of 2.

( b) When you multiply by 2, you keep adding the number 2.

Let us say, for example, when we say 2 times 3 (2 × 3); the number 2 is added three times.

Hence, for more examples in the 2 times table we have,

2 × 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

2 × 3 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6

2 × 4 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8

2 × 5 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10

2 × 6 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12

2 × 7 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 = 14

2 × 8 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 = 16

2 × 9 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 + 2 = 18

2 × 10 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 + 2 + 2= 20

2 × 11 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 22

2 × 12 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 24

( c ) The number is doubled by using the 2 times multiplication table. The table below shows the concept of adding the number twice.

2 Times Table	Doubling the number	Result
1 × 2	1 + 1	2
2 × 2	2 + 2	4
3 × 2	3 + 3	6
4 × 2	4 + 4	8
5 × 2	5 + 5	10
6 × 2	6 + 6	12
7 × 2	7 + 7	14
8 × 2	8 + 8	16
9 × 2	9 + 9	18
10 × 2	10 + 10	20
11 × 2	11 + 11	22
12 × 2	12 + 12	24

( d ) Utilizing the 1 times multiplication table is another way of learning the 2 times table.

This strategy is done by adding all the natural numbers from 1 to 10 to the 1 times multiplication table.

1 Times Multiplication Table	Adding the Natural Numbers 1 to 10	Result
1 × 1 = 1	+ 1	2
1 × 2 = 2	+ 2	4
1 × 3 = 3	+ 3	6
1 × 4 = 4	+ 4	8
1 × 5 = 5	+ 5	10
1 × 6 = 6	+ 6	12
1 × 7 = 7	+ 7	14
1 × 8 = 8	+ 8	16
1 × 9 = 9	+ 9	18
1 × 10 =10	+ 10	20
1 × 11 = 11	+ 11	22
1 × 12 = 12	+ 12	24

What are the prerequisites for mastering the 2 times multiplication table?

( a ) The skill to add up to 20 must be mastered by learners and is commonly taught to 1^st-grade learners.

( b ) The 1 times multiplication table must be taught to the learners so that they are knowledgeable that the result of multiplying a number by 1 is the same as the number being multiplied. It simply means that you only have one group of that number.

( c ) Adding groups or repeated addition are essential since these concepts establish a solid foundation for learning multiplication.
