Double the number (add the number to itself)
Question 2: Doubling an even number always results in which of the following?
Another even number
A fractional number
A prime number
An odd number
Question 3: Which strategy uses the 2 times table to quickly multiply by 4?
Square the number then halve it
Multiply by 3 then add the original
Double and subtract one
Double twice (apply ×2, then ×2 again)
Question 4: If you know 2 × 7 = 14, which mental step best helps compute 2 × 17?
Multiply 14 by 2.5
Subtract 2 from 2×20
Double 14 and add 6
Add 2 × 10 (20) to 2 × 7 (14) to get 34
Question 5: Which consequence follows from repeatedly applying the 2 times rule to 1 (1→2→4→8…)?
You always end with an odd number
You generate powers of two that grow exponentially
You reach a fixed point at 16
You cycle through digits 1 to 9
Question 6: Which common myth about the 2 times table is incorrect?
Doubling is unrelated to binary systems
2 times any integer is even
Doubling fractional values never gives fractions
Doubling always makes numbers 'too big' to use in practical estimates
Question 7: In a real-world scenario, which use of doubling best shows efficient planning?
Estimating total cost for two identical items by doubling one item's price
Doubling storage space always halves cost
Doubling time spent always doubles productivity
Doubling team size always speeds completion by the same factor
Question 8: Which algebraic identity directly uses the idea behind the 2 times table?
a/2 = a − a
2a = a + a
2 + a = a^2
a^2 = a × a
