The 2 times table is simple: you multiply by 2 or add 2 repeatedly
Here is the 2 times table:
1 × 2 = 2
2 × 2 = 4
3 × 2 = 6
4 × 2 = 8
5 × 2 = 10
6 × 2 = 12
7 × 2 = 14
8 × 2 = 16
9 × 2 = 18
10 × 2 = 20
More than 10:
11 × 2 = 22
12 × 2 = 24
Repeated Addition[]
2 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 18
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 20
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 22
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 24
Tips & Tricks[]
- All products are even numbers
- Multiplying by 2 is the same as doubling (Of course, doubling the 1 times table. 8 × 2 = 8 + 8 = 16)
- Make sure you're comfortable with the Commutative Property of Multiplication (4 × 2 = 2 × 4 = 8)
- Use songs to memorize. Example:
