Multiplication can be explained as repeated addition and also shown as an array. We have fun activities which cover both these concepts. As well as this, year 2 is the first year where ‘tables’ are used, starting with just the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. Try our timed activities and games to help with beginning to learn these ‘tables’ and there are also some harder activities, including completing number sentences and doubling larger numbers.
