TheSchoolRun.com closure date

As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.

As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.

In particular, we suggest downloading:

You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.

We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

2 times table quick quiz

2 times table quick quiz worksheet
A 2 times table printable game created by a primary school teacher.

Test your child's 2 times table knowledge with a quick five-minute quiz. Can they pick the correct starry answer?


Keystage:  KS1, Year 2

When do children need to know the 2 times table?

In the UK, it's great for children to know their 2 times tables by the end of Year 2, which is when they're around 6-7 years old. The National Curriculum suggests that by the end of Key Stage 1 (covering Year 1 and Year 2), kids should be comfortable with the 2, 5, and 10 times tables. 

This sets a strong foundation for their progress in maths as they move into Key Stage 2. Learning these basics early on can really help them feel confident and prepared for more advanced maths concepts later on.

How can you make the 2 times table fun?

Here are five fun ways to help children learn their times tables:

  • Math games: Use interactive math games, quizzes and apps that make learning times tables a fun challenge.
     
  • Songs and rhymes: Create catchy songs or rhymes to help memorise the times tables.
     
  • Flashcards: Play flashcard games where kids can earn points or rewards for correct answers.
     
  • Times table bingo: Organise a times table bingo game where kids match multiplication facts to the numbers called out.
     
  • Outdoor activities: Incorporate physical activity by having children hop, skip, or jump while reciting their times tables.
