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.

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

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.
