The 2 times table

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

Trick

Times 2 is the same as doubling: 2 × 7 is 7 + 7 = 14.

Every answer in the 2 times table is an even number.

Where do you see 2s?

A bird has 2 wings. So 3 of them make 3 × 2 = 6.

Count in 2s: the multiples of 2

The numbers you say when you count in 2s are the multiples of 2. They are the answers in the 2 times table, and they keep going after 2 × 12. A number is a multiple of 2 if it can be shared into groups of 2 with nothing left over.

The first 20 multiples of 2. The dashed ones go past the times table.
