What 2nd Grade children learn in math

In 2nd Grade, children learn the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts, starting with skip counting, and begin to see multiplication as equal groups.

What the 2nd Grade check looks at

2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts

The first tables children learn, by skip counting and then by heart.

  • The 2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts: recall

Curriculum: Common Core 2.OA.C.4

Try at home: Skip count by 2s, 5s and 10s on the way to school, then ask your child to jump straight to “6 fives”.

3, 4 and 8 multiplication facts

Built from doubling: the 4s are double the 2s, the 8s double the 4s.

  • The 3, 4 and 8 multiplication facts: warm-up (×1 to ×5)

Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7

Try at home: Practice doubling: if your child knows 3 × 4 = 12, then 3 × 8 is double 12.

6, 7 and 9 multiplication facts

The trickiest facts, usually the last to become automatic.

  • The 6, 7 and 9 multiplication facts: warm-up (×1 to ×5)

Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7

Try at home: Learn the 9s with the finger trick and work on two or three 7s and 8s facts at a time.

11 and 12 multiplication facts

Extension facts up to 12 × 12.

  • The 11 and 12 multiplication facts: warm-up (×1 to ×5)

Curriculum: Common Core 4.NBT.B.5

Try at home: Connect 12 × n to 10 × n + 2 × n, for example 12 × 7 = 70 + 14.

Division facts

Using multiplication facts backwards: if 6 × 7 = 42, then 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

  • Division facts: warm-up (×1 to ×5)

Curriculum: Common Core 3.OA.C.7

Try at home: Every time you practice a multiplication table fact, ask the matching division fact too.

Questions parents ask

Which multiplication facts should a 2nd Grade child know?

See “What 2nd Grade children learn” above. As a guide, most curricula expect the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication facts first, then the 3s, 4s and 8s, and all facts to 10 × 10 by about Year 4 (4th Grade in the US).

Why is the test timed?

Eight seconds is enough to recall a fact but not to count it out. Quick recall frees up working memory for harder problems, so speed and accuracy together are the best sign that a table is learned.

Is it free?

Yes. The test and the full report are free, and there is no sign-up to start.

What if my child runs out of time?

That is fine. A question that runs out of time counts as one to practice, and the next one in that table is a little easier.

How can we practice at home?

A few minutes a day beats one long session. Focus on two or three facts at a time, say each one with its division fact, and try our free multiplication facts games.
