Times Tables Trail: 2s, 5s and 10s
Year 2 | Ages 6–7 | Beginner
Instructions: Work through the activities in order. Use the example in Activity 1 to help you, and remember that multiplication makes equal groups. Check your answers by counting in 2s, 5s or 10s.
Warm Up: Count in Equal Groups
Each group has the same number of objects. Count in 2s, 5s or 10s to find the total. Example: 3 groups of 2 is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6, so 3 × 2 = 6.
1. 2 groups of 2: 2 + 2 = 2 × 2 =
2. 4 groups of 2: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 4 × 2 =
3. 3 groups of 5: 5 + 5 + 5 = 3 × 5 =
4. 2 groups of 10: 10 + 10 = 2 × 10 =
Complete the Times Tables
Fill each missing answer. Count forwards in the number of the table if you need help. For example, 2, 4, 6 means 3 × 2 = 6.
1. 2 × 3 =
2. 2 × 5 =
3. 5 × 4 =
4. 5 × 6 =
5. 10 × 3 =
Multiplication and Division Families
Write the missing number in each fact. Multiplication and division are linked: if 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 ÷ 5 = 3.
1. 4 × 2 =
2. 10 ÷ 2 =
3. 3 × 5 =
4. 20 ÷ 5 =
5. 2 × 10 =
Odd or Even?
Work out each number, then write whether it is odd or even. A number in the 2 times table is even. Numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 are odd.
1. 2 × 4 = Odd or even?
2. 5 × 3 = Odd or even?
3. 10 × 2 = Odd or even?
4. 2 × 7 = Odd or even?
Times Tables in Little Stories
Read each short problem. Decide which times table to use, then write the answer in the box. You can count on in equal groups to help.
1. Sam has 4 pairs of socks. How many socks does he have?
2. There are 5 apples in each bag. How many apples are in 3 bags?
3. Ten children each have 2 crayons. How many crayons are there altogether?
4. Twenty biscuits are shared equally between 5 plates. How many biscuits are on each plate?
