Questions and answers
What are the answers in the 2 times table?
From 2 × 1 to 2 × 10 the answers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20. Carrying on, 2 × 11 = 22 and 2 × 12 = 24.
What is the trick for the 2 times table?
Times 2 means doubling: add the number to itself. Every answer is even, so it ends in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. Example: 2 × 8 = 8 + 8 = 16.
What is 2 times 12?
2 × 12 = 24. You can also find it as 2 × 10 + 2 × 2 = 20 + 4 = 24.
How many facts in the 2 times table are new?
If you learn the tables in order, only 11 are new (2 × 2 up to 2 × 12). The others, like 2 × 2 = 4, you already know from the earlier tables because the order of the numbers doesn't change the answer.
