How to remember the 2 times table

  1. 1

    Multiplying by 2 is doubling: 2 × 8 = 8 + 8 = 16.

  2. 2

    Every answer is even and ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.

  3. 3

    The 2 times table unlocks the 4s and 8s: keep doubling and you get them.

  4. 4

    Order doesn’t matter: 2 × 7 = 7 × 2 = 14. Learn a fact once and you know two — and you already know part of this table from the others.

  5. 5

    Division is multiplication backwards: 14 ÷ 2 = 7, because 2 × 7 = 14. Learn to multiply and division comes free.
