About this worksheet
They are harder than product questions, so start with one or two tables a child already knows, then move to the mixed set. The "Mixed" question type alternates product and missing-number questions on the same sheet, which is close to how the facts come up in real problems.
The missing number is always the multiplier, not the table (so the 7s sheet asks 7 × ___ = 56 rather than ___ × 8 = 56), unless both factors are in your selected tables.
Curriculum
- National Curriculum, Years 3–4: recall and use multiplication and division facts; recognise and use factor pairs
- Common Core 3.OA.A.4: determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication equation
Questions
Why no missing-number questions with a product of 0?
Because "0 × ___ = 0" has every number as an answer. The generator keeps such questions as ordinary product questions.
Can I mix missing-number and normal questions?
Yes — choose the "Mixed" question type and about half the questions on the sheet will have a missing factor.
