Two Times Table - Multiplication For Kids - Multiplication

What are times tables? Times tables are those that help kids know the answer for multiplying two numbers by one another. Usually after helping the kids understand and know how to count the numbers of the times tables, they then reach the point where they start memorizing it all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6IN-h9d-I).

Every number has its own times table to make it easier for the kid to recognize it. In this video, the timetable focused on is for number two and through this video kids will learn how much they are supposed to count in every single number to get their multiplication answer.

The times table of number two is one of the easiest for the kids to understand and memorize because it is not just an even number, but it is also small and thus make it easier for the kids to bring out the answer. In any times table, kids are supposed to double add the number to every answer they get, here is the times table for number two so that it becomes clearer:
2 x 1 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
2 x 3 = 6
2 x 4 = 8
2 x 5 = 10
2 x 6 = 12
2 x 7 = 14
2 x 8 = 16
2 x 9 = 18
2 x 10 = 20
If you paid close attention, you will realize that the answer as you scroll down is all about adding two to the final answer. Number 2 times table is also about doubling the number you are multiplying by two; if for example you want the answer for 2 x 8 then you should ask yourself what is the answer for 8 + 8 and you will find yourself getting the answer needed.

Times tables are important as the first step taken in the ladder of learning multiplication, but there are other methods used which kids could depend on but it will always go back to how the equation or the question is imposed and according to the number and how big or small it is. There is for example the grid table method which is perfectly used with the numbers that consist of two digits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9TWSto7FSU) making it easier for the kids especially that they will not memorize such long times tables like 33 x 44 for example.

In addition to the grid method, there is also the games that parents could use while homeschooling their kids and teaching them multiplication, such as the Lego pieces which kids could use to count (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPW1bmLTFdA) and there are those ordinary ways of using a white board or a piece of paper but on which kids could actually multiply by using the number line for example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v0AjM0jcPA) or play any other general games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hICAoEIcLE).

Sometimes multiplication questions come in the form of story problems and since these could actually come with all the different mathematical operations found in the world of math, there are specific words which will be the ones guiding the kids to multiply, such as words like times, double addition, array, double, lots of, etc. it will all depend on the rest of the story and understanding it in the correct way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trlXHFaeZYw).

Math in general is one of the interesting subjects that could be taught to kids at home because there are lots of ways one could teach it through and there are also lots of games and daily life experiences that parents could do with their kids. Mental maths tricks are numerous, here are some of them to help your kids become experts at it all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYvf790iHUc).

To make sure your kids understood the whole technique behind times tables, you should do two important things: first, ask them some questions at the end of studying one timetable and second, move to other times tables of the numbers following or coming before. In this case, you could check the timetable of number three and see how well did your kids understand the whole idea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gEdEUShiY).

There are lots of mathematical methods that could be used when it comes to math, numbers and counting, so parents and teachers should never worry about how they are going to make it all appear exciting for the kids.
