2 Times Table

The 2× table is the easiest table to learn — just double the number. It's usually the first table children memorize, and it's the bridge to everything else in arithmetic.

Tricks for the 2 Times Table

  • Doubling: 2 × n is the same as n + n. A 2 × 7 is just 7 + 7 = 14.
  • Every answer in the 2× table is an even number (2, 4, 6, 8, 10…).
  • If your child can already add, the 2× table is essentially free.
7 × 2
= ?

How to use the 2 Times Table tool

  1. Start in flashcard mode

    Open the 2× times table tool in flashcard mode. Don't set a timer yet — focus on accuracy.

  2. Say the answer aloud

    Before clicking to reveal, say the answer out loud. This recruits both visual and verbal memory and speeds up recall.

  3. Switch to drill when fluent

    Once your child can answer each card in about 3 seconds, switch to drill mode for a 60-second challenge.

  4. Track their best score

    Retry the drill and aim to beat last session's score. Kids love the progression, and the repetition cements the facts.
