2 Times Table Color by Number Worksheet

Every region on this picture carries one 2 times table fact. Every answer in the 2s is even, and every answer is just the number doubled. If a child can double, they already know this table. A child has to recall the answer before they know which crayon a region takes, so the coloring rewards the retrieval instead of replacing it. 2 × 7 = 14 and 2 × 9 = 18 lag slightly. Doubling into the teens is a beat slower than doubling to a landmark like 10 or 20.

Teaching notes for 2 times table

Say the number twice and add. 2 × 7 is 7 + 7. Doubling is the same skill they use to split a snack fairly, so it arrives early and sticks. Watch which regions your child leaves until last: they are almost always the facts that still need counting. Adding a number to itself within 20. If 8 + 8 is still slow, the 2s will be slow too.

How to use this sheet

  • 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
  • 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
  • 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.

The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.

After the 2 times table sheet

A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice — good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.
