Missing Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students practice identifying factors of numbers. The first section instructs students to list at least five factors for each of ten given numbers, ranging from 12 to 80. The second section provides a set of five numbers, each accompanied by a selection of checkboxes with numbers inside them, and students are tasked with identifying which of these are factors of the given number by checking the correct boxes.

The worksheet aims to teach students the concept of factors in mathematics, which are the integers that can be multiplied together to result in the target number. It reinforces the skill of determining which numbers divide evenly into another number, a fundamental aspect of understanding divisibility rules, prime factorization, and preparing for more advanced algebraic concepts. The checkbox format in the second section is helpful in assessing students’ comprehension of factors in a clear and straightforward manner. By completing these exercises, students enhance their ability to perform factorization, which is crucial for working with fractions, finding greatest common factors, and least common multiples.
