Missing Factor Tens

This worksheet reverses the typical multiplication format by asking students to determine the missing factor in equations involving 10. Students must apply logical reasoning and their knowledge of place value to identify which number multiplied by 10 produces the given product. This supports conceptual understanding, not just procedural fluency. The variety of numbers challenges students to think about multiplication in reverse, strengthening their algebraic thinking. This worksheet works well for higher-order practice, problem-solving development, or enrichment. Students finish with a stronger understanding of how multiplication and division relate.
