Multiplication Table 2 5 10 Missing Factor Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 maths worksheets for finding missing factors in the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables.
Practice that builds confidence
From tables to missing factors
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children use the 2, 5 and 10 times tables to find the missing factor in equations such as 5 × __ = 20 or __ × 2 = 12. Instead of only reciting tables, learners think about the number that makes the multiplication sentence true.
The printable activities include mixed missing-number problems, table-based practice and simple equation formats using familiar facts from the 2, 5 and 10 tables. They build quick recall, skip-counting confidence and early division readiness.
Missing factor questions ask children to look at a product and decide which number completes the multiplication fact. For example, in 10 × __ = 70, the child can count by tens or recall that 10 × 7 = 70. This is an important step between chanting tables and understanding multiplication as a relationship between numbers.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets focus only on the 2, 5 and 10 tables, which are usually the most familiar Class 2 facts. Children may first meet blanks after the multiplication sign, then blanks at the start of the equation, such as __ × 5 = 35. Mixed pages help them choose the correct table instead of following one pattern mechanically. The vocabulary to reinforce is factor, product, times table, equal to and missing number.
A simple parent routine
At home, start with oral skip-counting: 2, 4, 6, 8; then 5, 10, 15; then 10, 20, 30. Next, write one problem from the worksheet and ask, Which table does this product belong to? Encourage your child to say the full fact aloud: 5 times 6 is 30, so the missing factor is 6. If a child is stuck, allow fingers, counters or dots grouped in 2s, 5s or 10s before expecting mental recall.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for maths warm-ups, table revision, early finishers, small-group support or quick checks after teaching multiplication facts. A useful centre activity is to let pupils match equation cards to answer cards, then complete the worksheet independently. Pair work also helps children explain how they found the missing factor, not just write the answer.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write the product again in the blank, as in 2 × __ = 14 becoming 2 × 14 = 14. Others confuse counting by 5 with counting by 10, or reverse facts without checking the product. Slow the task down by circling the known factor and underlining the product. Remind learners that the answer must make the whole number sentence true.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom practice keeps the number range focused on the 2, 5 and 10 tables, so children can gain accuracy before moving to larger tables. The layout gives repeated exposure without unnecessary distraction, while the mixed missing-factor format prepares learners for division thinking in a gentle, age-appropriate way. Child-friendly strategy: find the table, skip-count to the product, count how many jumps, then write the missing factor.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does missing factor mean in these worksheets?
A missing factor is the number left blank in a multiplication sentence. For example, in 5 × __ = 25, the missing factor is 5 because 5 × 5 = 25.
Which multiplication tables are covered?
These worksheets focus on the 2, 5 and 10 times tables only, making them suitable for Class 2 children who are building confidence with early multiplication facts.
How can my child solve a problem without guessing?
Ask your child to identify the known factor, skip-count by that number until reaching the product, and count the jumps. The number of jumps is the missing factor.
Are these worksheets useful before learning division?
Yes. Finding a missing factor helps children see the link between multiplication and division, such as knowing that 5 × 6 = 30 also helps with 30 ÷ 5 = 6 later.
What should I do if my child mixes up the 5 and 10 tables?
Use visual groups. Show groups of 5 with fingers or counters, and groups of 10 as bundles or rows. Then compare products like 25, 30, 40 and 50 before returning to the worksheet.

Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
