Multiplication Table 5 Missing Factor Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 maths worksheets for finding missing factors in the 5 times table using facts, skip counting, and equal groups.
Practice that builds confidence
What children practise
These Class 2 maths worksheets help children practise missing factor questions from the 5 times table, such as 5 × __ = 25 or __ × 5 = 40. Children learn to connect multiplication facts with skip counting and repeated groups of five.
The printable activities include focused practice with blanks in different positions, fact-family style thinking, and simple visual or number-pattern support. They are useful after children know the 5 times table and are ready to think beyond direct recall.
Missing factor practice asks children to find the unknown number in a multiplication fact. Instead of only answering 5 × 6 = 30, they work out 5 × __ = 30. This strengthens understanding of multiplication as equal groups, not just chanting a table. For the 5 times table, children usually work with products such as 5, 10, 15, 20, up to 50.
Building from table recall to reasoning
The worksheets move children from familiar facts to flexible thinking. A child may first skip count by fives: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, then notice that 25 is the fifth count, so 5 × 5 = 25. Questions with the blank first, such as __ × 5 = 35, help children see that 7 groups of 5 and 5 groups of 7 have the same product, while still focusing on the table of 5.
A simple parent routine
At home, begin by saying the 5 times table together once. Then choose five questions from the worksheet and ask your child to circle the product first. Let them count on fingers or make small groups of five objects, such as pencils or beads, if needed. After each answer, ask, “How many groups of 5 did you count?” This keeps the focus on the missing factor rather than guessing.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for multiplication revision, maths centres, morning practice, or small-group support. They also work well as a quick check after teaching the 5 times table. Pairing a written worksheet with a number line, counters, or oral skip counting helps different learners explain their method before moving to independent practice.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write the product in the blank, for example 5 × __ = 20 becomes 20. Others count by ones instead of fives, skip a count, or confuse 5 × 6 with 6 + 5. Watch for reversals in facts like __ × 5 = 45, where the missing factor is 9, not 45. Encourage children to read the full number sentence aloud.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is a missing factor in the 5 times table?
A missing factor is the unknown number in a multiplication fact, such as 5 × __ = 30. The child finds how many groups of 5 make the product, so the missing factor is 6.
Is this worksheet collection suitable for Class 2?
Yes. It is designed for Class 2 children who have started learning multiplication and are practising the 5 times table beyond simple fact recall.
How can my child solve 5 × __ = 45 without guessing?
Ask your child to skip count by fives: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. Since 45 is reached on the ninth count, the missing factor is 9.
Should children memorise the table before doing missing factor practice?
It helps if children are familiar with the 5 times table, but they do not need perfect memorisation. They can use skip counting, fingers, counters, or equal groups while building fluency.
What mistakes are common in these questions?
Children may put the product in the blank, count by ones, miss a step while skip counting, or forget that the blank asks for the number of groups of 5. Reading the full equation aloud usually helps.
