Multiply by 2 and 3: what children learn

The 2s and 3s facts are the first ones to learn. Doubling gives the 2s facts (2 × 7 = 14), and the 3s facts are the 2s facts plus one more group (3 × 7 = 21).

Multiply by 2 and 3: worked example

3 × 8 = 24

3 groups of 8 is 8 + 8 + 8 = 24.

Multiply by 2 and 3: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes add instead of multiplying and write 11 for 3 × 8.

Multiply by 2 and 3: how to help at home or in class

Pairs are the natural home of the 2s, so go on a pairs hunt around the house and count shoes, socks and gloves. For the 3s, draw several triangles and count corners together, or look for three-leaf clovers in pictures. Call out a quick fact such as 3 × 6 and see if your child answers before you finish counting. Steady, quick answers on both tables mean the 4s and 5s are ready.
