Multiplication and division - The 2 times table - Worksheet

The "2 Times Table" worksheet is an educational resource designed to help Year 6 students master multiplication and division through fluency and precision. The National Curriculum objective for this lesson is to recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5, and 10 multiplication tables and to recognise odd and even numbers. To achieve this, the worksheet provides differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and practical tools such as cubes and number pieces. The vocabulary focuses on terms such as multiplication, division, counting, and equal groups. Children are encouraged to become comfortable with the concept of multiplication, using images and number tracks to count in twos and explore equal groups within the 2 times-table.

The worksheet poses key questions to stimulate the children's understanding, such as determining the number of 2 pence coins needed to make 16 pence or how many sets of 2 fit into 16. It also prompts them to use visual aids, like images of bicycles, to solve problems. The exercises are designed to help children recognise patterns in multiplication by completing number tracks and using pictures to find answers. The tasks range from simple multiplication sentences to more complex problems involving objects and word problems, where children must apply their knowledge without relying solely on visual representations. The worksheet also includes reasoning and problem-solving sections, where students fill in the blanks to complete equations and justify their answers, reinforcing their understanding of even and odd numbers within the context of the 2 times-table.
