Table of 2

Initiation of learning at a young age and making children intrigued with important topics such as mathematics, tables, mathematical tools, etc., would prove to be beneficial not only in enhancing their theoretical and practical knowledge rather than help young learners be thorough with these fundamentals that would advantageously assist them as they grow up and learn various other mathematical topics. The fundamentals of mathematical tools like tables, mathematical operator rules & uses, understanding basic equations, etc., hold very crucial importance in the learning journey of an individual as these are the pillars which are the important constituent of any mathematical equation and help them solve them easily and simply. The learning of tables of numbers is also loved by students and particularly the table of 2 might also intrigue children as they get to know the doubles of every mathematical number.

The table of 2 is important and sometimes also considered to be fondly by students because:

• Learning the table of 2 gives them insight into knowing the doubles of every mathematical number.
• Initially, the learning of table of 2 can be tough for learners at a young grade such as grade four, five, etc., so students are told to memorize and recite the multiplication of number 2 although after getting well-versed the students start to love reading the multiplication table of 2.

Tips to learn the multiplication table of 2 in a simplified manner

Although the table of 2 is made to recite and memorised by young students at a young age so that they get well versed with multiplicative function and values of the number 2 til the factor of ten but few tips/tricks may help students to grasp the multiplication table of 2 easily. Some of them are:

• The consequent value of each multiplication of table of 2 can be found by adding 2 to the previous value, ex: 2×5=10 can be found by adding two to the previous value i.e., 8
• Each of the multiplicative values of the table of 2 can be found by omitting the next number of the previous value, ex: 2×6=12 and when the following number of 12 is omitted i.e., 13 then the next multiplicative value can be obtained i.e., 14(2×7)

Solved Examples

Q) Rohan brought 7 mangoes on Monday. On Tuesday his mom told him to bring two times the mangoes he brought previously. How many mangoes he should bring?
