1-Digit Product Grid

Worksheet Description

This worksheet contains a series of multiplication problems, each with a single-digit multiplicand and a single-digit multiplier, resulting in a two-digit product. For each problem, the product is provided, but one of the factors (either the multiplicand or the multiplier) is missing and must be calculated by the student. The layout is clear and well-organized, with each problem numbered and presented with ample space for students to write the missing number. The worksheet is designed for quick completion, as indicated by a “15 minutes” time suggestion at the bottom.

The purpose of this worksheet is to enhance the students’ skills in identifying missing factors in multiplication equations. It teaches them to apply division as the inverse operation of multiplication to find the missing number when the product is known. By repeatedly solving these types of problems, students can strengthen their recall of multiplication facts. This worksheet also aims to improve their ability to perform mental calculations quickly and accurately, an essential skill for mathematical proficiency.
