It is helpful to teach larger multiples of 2 using a number grid. When teaching the two times table it is important to recognise patterns in the multiples of 2.

12 × 2 = 24 and so the 12th multiple of two is 24.

<11 × 2 = 22 and so the 11th multiple of two is 22.

10 × 2 = 20 and so the 10th multiple of two is 20.

9 × 2 = 18 and so the 9th multiple of two is 18.

8 × 2 = 16 and so the 8th multiple of two is 16.

7 ×2 = 14 and so the 7th multiple of two is 14.

6 × 2 = 12 and so the 6th multiple of two is 12.

5 × 2 = 10 and so the 5th multiple of two is 10.

4 × 2 = 8 and so the 4th multiple of two is 8.

3 × 2 = 6 and so the 3rd multiple of two is 6.

2 × 2 = 4 and so the 2nd multiple of two is 4.

1 × 2 = 2 and so the 1st multiple of two is 2.

To find any particular multiple of two, multiply that given number by two.

The answers to the two times tables are what we call the multiples of 2.

We usually learn the first twelve multiples when learning a times table. Here is a chart showing the two times table. The two times table is one of the first times tables to learn because the numbers are smaller and more familiar. There is no final multiple of 2 because the two times table keeps on going. The chart below shows the full list of multiples of 2 to 100. The answers to the two times table make up the first few multiples of 2. Multiples of 2 are numbers that can be divided exactly by 2, leaving no remainder.
