These six 2 times table worksheets take a child from reading the table to recalling it in any order. The first sheet prints the 2 times table from 2 × 1 to 2 × 12 on the left and the same twelve facts with blank answers on the right, so a child can read, cover and fill in. The second sheet has twenty-four 2 times table questions in mixed order, meant for timed practice once the table is familiar. The third sheet turns each fact round and asks for the missing factor, for example 2 × __ = 14, which is the skill that later becomes division by 2. The fourth sheet is a multiples of 2 coloring grid: color every multiple of 2 on a 1 to 100 grid, finish six count-in-2s sequences and describe the pattern the colored squares make, with an answer key on page 2.
The 2 times table is the first one most children learn, and the easiest, because every answer is a double: 2 × 6 is the same as 6 + 6. It is the usual starting point for times tables in grades 2 and 3.
Two more sheets added
- 2 times table wheels. Four multiplication wheels with 2 in the center and the factors 1 to 12 in mixed order; write the products in the outer ring. Answer key on page 2.
- Divide by 2. Twenty-four division facts from the table (12 ÷ 2 = 6) and three fact families that link each multiplication fact to its two divisions. Answer key on page 2.
What Students Will Practice
- Reading and reciting the 2 times table from 2 × 1 to 2 × 12 on the first sheet, then writing the answers from memory
- Recalling twenty-four facts out of order on the mixed sheet, without counting up from 2 × 1
- Linking doubling to multiplying by 2 (2 × 7 = 7 + 7 = 14)
- Finding a missing factor on the third sheet (2 × __ = 14), which is the same question as 14 ÷ 2
- Noticing that every answer in the 2 times table is an even number
- Spotting the pattern the multiples of 2 make on a hundred grid and counting in 2s beyond the table

How to Use These Worksheets
Print at 100% on A4 or US Letter paper. Work through the six sheets in order over several days rather than all at once.
- Sheet one: chart and practice. Read the table on the left out loud three times: “two times one is two, two times two is four”. Then cover it with a hand or a sheet of paper and fill in the answers on the right. Uncover and check.
- Sheet two: mixed practice. The twenty-four questions are in random order so a child cannot simply count up. Time the sheet, write the time at the top, and try to beat it a few days later. Aim for under three minutes with no errors.
- Sheet three: missing numbers. Questions like 2 × __ = 14 ask “how many twos make 14?” This is division in disguise and prepares children for the ÷ 2 facts.
- Sheet four: multiples grid. Color every multiple of 2 on the 1 to 100 grid, then fill the gaps in the six counting sequences. Ask what pattern the colored squares make before checking the answer key on page 2; it is the quickest way to spot a 2 times table answer that is wrong.
- Use doubling as the strategy. If a child is stuck on 2 × 8, ask “what is 8 plus 8?” Doubling is a fact most children already know, and it makes the whole table available immediately.
- Count in twos first. If the table is brand new, count in 2s to 24 out loud a few times before starting sheet one. Our skip counting worksheets are a good warm-up.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Counting up from 2 × 1 every time: Works but is slow. Encourage recall or doubling instead, and use the mixed sheet to break the habit.
- Confusing 2 × 6 and 2 × 8: Both answers (12 and 16) are common. Say them as doubles: 6 + 6 and 8 + 8.
- Odd answers: Any odd answer in the 2 times table is wrong. Teach children to check that their answers all end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.
- Treating the missing number sheet as a new topic: Show that 2 × __ = 14 is just the table read backwards. Point to 2 × 7 = 14 on sheet one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age or grade is the 2 times table for?
Most children meet the 2 times table at age 6 to 7, in second grade in the US or year 2 in the UK, and are expected to recall it fluently by the end of third grade or year 3.
Which times table should come next?
The 10 times table, then the 5 times table, then 3 and 4. The 2, 5 and 10 tables are the easiest to learn and cover many of the facts children meet in everyday counting and money.
Do these worksheets include answers?
Sheet one shows the full table with answers on its left half, which doubles as the answer key for the first three sheets; the multiples grid, the wheels and the divide-by sheet each have their own answer key on page 2. Every fact on sheets two and three appears there.
How long should my child spend on these each day?
Five to ten minutes of focused practice is more effective than a long session. One sheet per sitting, repeated on a later day, builds recall better than doing all four at once.
