A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.

Use knowledge of the 2 times table to solve problems

Maths

In this unit pupils will represent the 2x 10x table in different ways and use 2x 10x table to solve problems. They will explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 2/10 and that factor pairs can be written in any order. In the future unit pupils will represent the 5s in different ways. They will explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 5 and how 5x and 10x are related.

In the prior unit pupils represented multiples of ten using numerals and names and and used knowledge of facts and unitising to add and subtract multiples of ten. In this unit pupils will represent the 2x 10x table in different ways and use 2x 10x table to solve problems. They will explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of 2/10 and that factor pairs can be written in any order.

Representing counting in 2s, 5s and 10s as the 2, 5 and 10 times tables

Look at the image below. There are ___ groups of £2. 

There are three two pence coins.  The total value is {{ }} p.

There are six two pence coins.  The total value is {{ }} p.

Look at the image below. Using your knowledge of groups how can you change this to 7 groups of 2?

Aisha has 12 pencils. How many groups of 2 pencils is this?

Aisha has £14 altogether in £2 coins. How many £2 coins does she have?

Starting with the largest, put the multiples of 2 in order.

Match the start of each count to the next number you would say if skip counting in twos. Some counts are backwards.

Which of these numbers are multiples of 2?

A pair of socks has 2 socks. Imagine 8 pairs of socks. How many socks will there be?

There are 2 gloves in a pair. Imagine 9 pairs. How many gloves will there be in total?
