Missing Dividends Divisors To 10 Practice Activities
Printable maths drills that help children find missing dividends and divisors using division facts from the 1 to 10 tables.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the missing part
These worksheets help children practise division facts where the answer is given but one part of the equation is missing, such as __ ÷ 4 = 6 or 35 ÷ __ = 5. The focus is on using the 1 to 10 multiplication and division facts to reason out the missing dividend or divisor.
The printable activities include clear number sentences, mixed missing-number drills, and fact-family style practice. Children build fluency while learning to connect division with multiplication instead of guessing.
In this Mathematics > Math Drills > Division Facts set, children work with division equations that are not fully complete. A missing dividend asks, “What number was divided?” For example, __ ÷ 5 = 8 can be checked as 5 × 8 = 40. A missing divisor asks, “What number did we divide by?” For example, 36 ÷ __ = 4 can be checked as 36 ÷ 4 = 9, or 4 × 9 = 36.
Progression through facts to 10
The practice stays within division facts linked to the tables from 1 to 10, so children can rely on known multiplication facts rather than long division. Early questions may use familiar facts such as 12 ÷ __ = 3, while later rows mix missing dividends and divisors so learners must read the symbol positions carefully. This supports flexible fact recall, inverse operations, and stronger mental maths.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to circle the missing part first: dividend or divisor. Then have them say the related multiplication sentence aloud before writing the answer. For __ ÷ 7 = 6, they should say “7 times 6 is 42.” For 45 ÷ __ = 5, they can ask, “What times 5 makes 45?” A quick oral check after each row helps catch slips before they become habits.
Common errors and a child-friendly strategy
Watch for children who multiply the two visible numbers every time, even when the divisor is missing. Also look for reversed facts, such as writing 6 for 48 ÷ __ = 8 because they only noticed the 8. A useful strategy is: “Read, name, turn it around.” Read the equation, name the missing part, then turn division into multiplication to check the answer.

Classroom uses and why iBloom worksheets help
Teachers can use these pages for warm-ups, maths centres, revision after division facts, or quick checks before moving to larger numbers. iBloom worksheets are designed to isolate this exact skill, so pupils do not get distracted by word problems or new procedures. The mixed layout encourages attention to equation structure while still giving enough repetition for fluency.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is a missing dividend in these worksheets?
A missing dividend is the number being divided. In __ ÷ 6 = 7, children use the related multiplication fact 6 × 7 to find the missing dividend, 42.
How is a missing divisor different from a missing dividend?
In a missing divisor question, the dividend is already shown and children find what it is divided by. For example, in 32 ÷ __ = 4, the missing divisor is 8.
Which division facts are covered?
The practice is based on division facts connected to the 1 to 10 multiplication tables, helping children strengthen recall without moving into long division.
Should children solve these by division or multiplication?
They should understand the division sentence, then use multiplication as a check or shortcut. This builds the inverse-operation link between multiplication and division.
What mistake should I watch for at home?
A common mistake is multiplying the two visible numbers without checking which part is missing. Ask your child to identify whether the blank is the dividend or divisor before solving.
