What this worksheet covers
Set A of this grade 7 missing number sheet holds 24 decimals problems on one printable page, with the answer key on the page behind it. Eighteen of the 24 problems involve a negative quantity and some operands are decimals rather than whole numbers. Two problems from the middle of the page — "-0.1 × ___ = -0.6" and "-9.5 × ___ = -47.5" — show the range. It is written against Common Core 7.NS.2 — The Number System, grade 7.
Skills practiced
The grade 7 decimals sequence covers adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing signed decimals, and repeating decimals; this page sits inside it. Specifically, the problems practice multiplying and dividing signed decimals and missing terms with signed decimals. Working the page asks a student to keep the decimal points aligned, track direction as well as magnitude, and reason backwards from a result to a missing part. Seventeen different answers appear across the 24 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.
About the missing number format
The 24 problems here move the unknown around, so a student solves for a missing part as often as for a result; problem 9, "-0.1 × ___ = -0.6" is one of them. A missing addend or factor with decimals asks the student to undo an operation, which exposes place-value gaps that forward computation hides.
Set A, Set B and Set C
The three sets come from the same generator with three different seeds: same skill, same layout, fresh numbers, and an answer key computed with the problems. Where Set A's problem 13 is "-7.0 × ___ = -49.0", Set B's is "-9.2 × ___ = -18.4".
How to use this worksheet
Expect twenty minutes or so of real attention for 24 problems. At grade 7, decimals rewards care over speed — a rushed missing number gets the arithmetic right and the signs or units wrong. Mark the 24 problems the same day using the key — an error caught immediately is a correction, and one caught next week is a habit.
