About this worksheet
The 2 times table is doubling: 2 × 7 is 7 + 7. Most children already know doubles to 10 from addition, so this table comes first. Every answer is even: it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. The facts most children find hardest: 2 × 11 and 2 × 12 are the only facts that are not already doubles to 20.
The 2 times table is taught in Year 2. Once it is secure, switch the question type to "2 × __ = 12" for the related division facts, or tick the other tables of the year group for a mixed sheet. Fifty and 100-question versions are a click away.
