Twenty facts with one factor missing, such as 7 × ☐ = 56 or ☐ × 9 = 54. Children ask: seven times what makes 56? Counting up in sevens works, but the quickest way is to know the fact. Missing factors are division in disguise, 56 ÷ 7 = 8, so this sheet is the bridge from the times tables to the division worksheets. Every fact comes from the 2 to 12 times tables.
