Missing Dividends and Divisors

In this worksheet, students determine missing dividends or divisors in equations involving division by 10, 100, or 1,000. Each item requires analyzing the structure of the division sentence to identify which number completes it correctly. This strengthens algebraic reasoning as students work backward from the quotient and divisor to infer the missing component. Learners deepen their understanding of how digit movement in the base-ten system relates to dividing by powers of ten. The problems vary in complexity, reinforcing flexible thinking and the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. This sheet effectively prepares students for later algebraic concepts involving unknown values.
