grade 2 Multiplication Table

A times table lays out multiplication answers so you can recall them fast, from the 2s to the 9s. Each one climbs by a fixed step, so a little repetition soon makes it stick. Order does not matter, since 3 × 5 and 5 × 3 both give 15. Pick a table to skip-count row by row, then find where a row and column cross in the 9 × 9 grid.

What are times tables?

🎵 Learn them like a song
①Times tables help you recall multiplication facts quickly
②Learn them in order, from the 2s to the 9s
③Once you know them, bigger multiplications go fast too

One table at a time

💡 3 times table
①The 3 times table starts at 3 × 1 = 3
②Each line down adds 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, …
③The number of dots to the right of each line equals the product
④The gold line is 3 × 4 = 12

🔍 Finding patterns in the chart
①The gold square is where row 3 meets column 7: 3 × 7 = 21
②The square where row 7 meets column 3 holds the same number, because switching the order doesn't change the product
③Squares where a number is multiplied by itself, like 1×1=1, 2×2=4, and 3×3=9, sit on the diagonal from the top left to the bottom right

Wrap-up

Times tables
the 2s to the 9s: each number × 1 through × 9
Know them all and multiplication answers come right away
Pattern
the N times table: N, 2N, 3N, 4N, ... 9N (up by N)
Each table goes up by the same amount every time
🎯 Remember
①Times tables go from the 2s to the 9s
②Each table goes up by its own number
③Switching the order gives the same answer (3×5 = 5×3)
④Practice often and they will come naturally
⑤Squares for a number times itself lie on the diagonal of the chart

Examples and unit check

Example 1
What is 7 × 8?
1
Recall the 7 times table: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56.
2
7 × 8 means 7 added 8 times, so it is 56.
▸ 56
The 7 times table goes up by 7 each time.
Example 2
In the 4 times table, what two numbers come after 4, 8, 12, 16?
1
The 4 times table goes up by 4.
2
16 + 4 = 20, and 20 + 4 = 24.
▸ 20, 24
Each times table goes up by its own number at every step.
Unit check
Which is the value of 6 × 7?
①36
②42
③48
④13
▸ ② 42
1
The 6 times table: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42.
2
6 × 7 is the seventh number, 42.
