What this worksheet covers
Set A of this grade 5 missing number sheet holds 24 multiplication problems on one printable page, with the answer key on the page behind it. What makes this set particular: the blank moves between positions from problem to problem, so no single procedure clears the page and the numbers run as high as 44,676. Two problems from the middle of the page — "152 × ___ = 10032" and "147 × ___ = 8673" — show the range. The sheet sits inside Common Core 5.NBT.5, in the grade 5 Number & Operations in Base Ten strand.
Skills practised
The grade 5 multiplication sequence covers three-digit by two-digit multiplication and multiplying by powers of ten; this page sits inside it. The skill on the page: three-digit by two-digit multiplication. Concretely, the sheet tests whether a student can reason backwards from a result to a missing part.
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, "152 × ___ = 10032" is one of them. An unknown factor is division in disguise, so this format is where multiplication and division fact families are built.
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 "472 × ___ = 42008", Set B's is "___ × 56 = 44072".
How to use this worksheet
By grade 5 a student should take all 24 multiplication problems in one sitting. If the page takes more than about fifteen minutes, the underlying facts are probably not automatic yet, and that is worth fixing before more multiplication practice piles on. Keep the key face down until all 24 problems are finished, then go through the misses together rather than only totalling the score.
One mistake to watch for
Facts are found by skip counting from zero every time. Problem 17 on this grade 5 missing number page, "147 × ___ = 8673", is where to look for it.
The table is known as a sequence, not as individual facts, so 7 × 8 means reciting eight sevens.
Drill the facts out of order and use the known-fact strategy: 7 × 8 is 7 × 4 doubled, or 5 × 8 plus 2 × 8.
