Mystery Number Match Answer Key

In this worksheet, students match division problems missing the dividend to repeated addition statements that represent how the starting number is built. Each repeated addition pattern represents equal groups added together, and learners must determine which pattern matches each quotient and divisor combination. This strengthens their understanding of division as the result of grouping and addition as the reverse process. Matching requires careful comparison, attention to structure, and counting accuracy. Students build deeper conceptual understanding by linking equations to models that show how dividends are formed. This activity extends algebraic thinking and promotes flexibility with number relationships.
