Missing Multiples

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a practice exercise on multiples, designed for students to write out the first six multiples of the numbers 3, 4, and 5. Additionally, for the numbers 8, 10, and 12, students are given some multiples and must fill in the missing ones to complete the set of six. The format provides blank boxes for the students to fill in the correct multiples, with a few multiples already provided as cues in questions four through six. This structure helps in guiding students to understand the sequence of multiples for each number.

The worksheet is intended to reinforce the concept of multiples, which are the products of a given number and a counting number (positive integer). It teaches students to generate sequences based on multiplication, a fundamental skill in mathematics. Through this exercise, students improve their multiplication tables recall and their ability to identify patterns in sequences of numbers. The task of filling in missing multiples also encourages problem-solving and critical thinking, as students must deduce the missing numbers based on their understanding of number patterns.
