Answer to Question 2
1. There are 5 twos: 5 × 2 = 10.
2. There are 3 fives: 3 × 5 = 15.
3. There are 4 tens: 4 × 10 = 40.
4. There are 7 twos: 7 × 2 = 14.
5. There are 6 fives: 6 × 5 = 30.
Answer to Question 3
1. 4 groups of 2: 4 × 2 = 8.
2. 3 groups of 5: 3 × 5 = 15.
3. 5 groups of 5: 5 × 5 = 25.
Answer to Question 4
1. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. So 6 × 2 = 12.
2. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40. So 8 × 5 = 40.
3. 7 tens are 70. So 7 × 10 = 70.
4. Double 9 is 18. So 9 × 2 = 18.
5. 5, 10, 15, 20. So 4 × 5 = 20.
6. 12 tens are 120. So 12 × 10 = 120.
Answer to Question 5
1. 2 rows of 5: 2 × 5 = 10. Turned round: 5 × 2 = 10.
2. 4 rows of 3: 4 × 3 = 12. Turned round: 3 × 4 = 12.
3. 5 rows of 4: 5 × 4 = 20. Turned round: 4 × 5 = 20.
Answer to Question 6
1. 10 × 2 = 20, so 20 ÷ 2 = 10.
2. 6 × 5 = 30, so 30 ÷ 5 = 6.
3. 6 × 10 = 60, so 60 ÷ 10 = 6.
4. 8 × 2 = 16, so 16 ÷ 2 = 8.
5. 9 × 5 = 45, so 45 ÷ 5 = 9.
6. 9 × 10 = 90, so 90 ÷ 10 = 9.
Answer to Question 7
1. 9 × 2 = 18 socks. Count in twos: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.
2. 9 + 4 = 13 pairs.
3. 13 × 2 = 26. Check: 13 pairs is 10 pairs and 3 pairs, 20 + 6 = 26 socks.
4. 26 ÷ 2 = 13 socks in each drawer, because 13 × 2 = 26.
Answer to Question 8
1. 7 × 5 = 35 fingers. Count in fives seven times: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
2. 6 × 5 = 30 fingers.
3. 35 + 30 = 65 fingers.
4. Each child holds up 10 fingers. 2 × 10 = 20 more fingers.
Answer to Question 9
1. 6 × 10 = 60 pencils.
2. 60 − 25 = 35 pencils. Take 20 away to get 40, then take 5 away.
3. 35 ÷ 5 = 7 pencils for each table, because 7 × 5 = 35.
Answer to Question 10
1. 4 × 2 = 8 pounds. Double 4 is 8.
2. 3 × 5 = 15 oranges.
3. 15 − 3 = 12 oranges.
4. 12 ÷ 4 = 3 oranges each, because 3 × 4 = 12.
Answer to Question 11
1. 14 ÷ 2 = 7 tubes.
2. 7 × 2 = 14, so the answer is correct.
3. 5 × 2 = 10 balls.
4. 14 + 10 = 24 balls.
Answer to Question 12
1. 3 × 5 = 15 lollipops.
2. 2 × 10 = 20 fruit chews.
3. 15 + 20 = 35 sweets.
4. 35 ÷ 5 = 7 sweets each, because 7 × 5 = 35.
Answer to Question 13
1. 4 × 10 = 40 chairs.
2. 3 × 5 = 15 chairs.
3. 40 + 15 = 55 chairs.
4. Yes. There are 55 chairs and only 50 children, and 55 is bigger than 50. There are 5 spare chairs.
Answer to Question 14
1. 9 × 2 = 18 stickers.
2. 3 × 10 = 30 stickers.
3. 30 − 18 = 12 stickers.
4. 12 ÷ 2 = 6 more children, because 6 × 2 = 12.
Answer to Question 15
1. 30 ÷ 2 = 15 rows, because 15 × 2 = 30.
2. 30 × 5 = 150. 3 tens times 5 is 15 tens, which is 150 pieces.
3. Goats: 4 × 10 = 40. Sheep: 7 × 5 = 35. Ducks: 9 × 2 = 18.
4. 40 + 35 + 18 = 75 + 18 = 93 animals.
5. Sheep 35 and ducks 18. 35 − 18 = 17. There are 17 more sheep than ducks.
Answer to Question 16
1. 3 × 10 = 30 tables.
2. 4 × 5 = 20 tables.
3. 30 + 20 = 50 tables.
4. 60 − 50 = 10 tables.
5. 10 ÷ 2 = 5 groups, because 5 × 2 = 10.
Answer to Question 17
1. 8 × 2 = 16 pounds.
2. 4 × 5 = 20 pounds.
3. 2 × 10 = 20 pounds.
4. 16 + 20 + 20 = 56 pounds.
5. 60 − 56 = 4 pounds more.
Answer to Question 18
1. 40 ÷ 5 = 8 teams, because 8 × 5 = 40.
2. 4 × 10 = 40 metres.
3. 40 × 2 = 80 cups. 4 tens doubled is 8 tens.
4. 80 ÷ 10 = 8 jugs.
5. 5 × 10 = 50, and 40 is smaller than 50. The team is not right: 40 metres is less than 50 metres.
Answer to Question 19
1. 5 rows of 6: 5 × 6 = 30 tiles.
2. 3 blue rows of 6: 3 × 6 = 18 blue tiles.
3. 2 yellow rows of 6: 2 × 6 = 12 yellow tiles.
4. 6 × 5 = 30. The answer is the same because you can multiply in any order.
5. No. She needs 30 tiles and 28 is less than 30. She is 2 tiles short.
Answer to Question 20
1. Numbers in both tables end in 0: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Between 40 and 60 the only one is 50.
2. 15 × 2 = 30. 30 is in the 5 times table and it is even. The number is 30.
3. 140 ÷ 10 = 14, and 14 = 7 × 2 is in the 2 times table. The number is 14.
4. Yes, Otto is correct. 7 × 5 = 35 ends in 5, and 8 × 5 = 40 ends in 0. An odd number times 5 ends in 5 and an even number times 5 ends in 0.

How to use these Year 2 2 worksheet answers

First, try every question on the worksheet without looking. Then compare your working with the solution line by line, not only the final answer.
