3rd Grade 2 Times Table Worksheet

The 2s are doubles

The 2 times table is the friendliest one to learn because multiplying by 2 is just doubling. If a student knows 7 + 7 = 14, they already know 2 x 7. Connecting the 2s to doubling — and to skip counting by 2s — makes this table almost automatic and lays groundwork for the 4s and 8s.
