Lesson details
Key learning points
- The 2 times table can be represented in different ways with groups of 2
- The two times table can be recorded as skip counting in 2 on a number line.
- The number of counts is one of the factors and the skip size of 2 is the other factor.
- The 2 times table can be represented using multiplication equations.
Keywords
2 times table - A set of multiplication facts where the product is a multiple of 2
Skip count - Counting in steps of equal size. For example, skip counting in twos means to count in equal steps of two.
Common misconception
Children may struggle to count in multiples of 2 and want to count in steps of 1
Use of concrete resources: counters can support children to practise skip counting in 2s
The focus of this lesson is recognition of multiples of two and connecting this to tables facts. Use every opportunity to rehearse and chant multiplication facts including skip counting and chanting multiplication tables to support fluency.
