Mastering the 10 Times Table in Year 2 Maths

Pupils focus on the 10 times table, use their understanding of multiplication to count forwards and backwards in 10s, and explore the table through number tracks, number lines and bar models. They learn that multiples of 10 are always even, always end in 0, and can be found by simply adding a zero to the original number, then apply this to real-life problems such as counting legs on ten octopuses or sea creatures across several fish bowls.
