2 Times Table Practice

Master the 2 times table with retrieval-first drills and mixed recall practice.

Build 2× fluency for faster multiplication and inverse division confidence.

Curriculum focus: secure recall of 2× facts and connected division facts.

2 times table

All facts from 2×1 to 2×12.

2 × 1 = 2

2 × 2 = 4

2 × 3 = 6

2 × 4 = 8

2 × 5 = 10

2 × 6 = 12

2 × 7 = 14

2 × 8 = 16

2 × 9 = 18

2 × 10 = 20

2 × 11 = 22

2 × 12 = 24

The 2 times table is the doubles table. Link each fact to doubling: 2 x 7 is the same as double 7.

Start: say the 2 times table in order once, then close the pattern and answer mixed facts.
Build: connect each 2x fact to a matching division fact.
Stretch: answer the trickiest facts after a short pause, not from a memorised chant.

2 x 7 = 14

2 x 9 = 18

18 / 2 = 9

For the 2 times table, run one focused round, then mix in two easier tables so recall transfers beyond the page order.
The child can answer facts out of order, not only in a chant.
The child can use one multiplication fact to answer a related division fact.
