Missing Multipliers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a collection of fill-in-the-blank exercises centered on the 11 times table. Each problem presents a multiplication equation involving the number 11 and another number, but one of the numbers is missing. Students must deduce the missing number that, when multiplied by 11, results in the given product. The problems vary, with some providing the multiplier and others the product, requiring the student to apply knowledge of multiplication in both directions.

The worksheet is designed to enhance students’ understanding of the 11 times table by requiring them to work backwards from the product to find the missing factor as well as the traditional forward calculation. It teaches them the concept of inverse operations, as they use division to solve some of the problems. This exercise also helps to solidify their number sense and reinforces the relationship between multiplication and division. By completing these problems, students improve their ability to quickly recall multiplication facts, a skill that is crucial for more advanced math.
