Missing number division worksheets

These free printable worksheets blank out one number in a division fact — sometimes the amount being shared, sometimes the number of shares — so a child has to reason about the whole sentence instead of dividing on sight.

Kid stuck on one? You don’t just get the sheet.

Missing number division worksheet — Facts to 12, free printable with answer key

The answer key prints on a separate page.

What's on this sheet

The two blanks pull in opposite directions and neither is solved by dividing the numbers you can see. Finding the missing divisor in 33 ÷ __ = 11 asks how many elevens make thirty-three. Finding the missing dividend in __ ÷ 3 = 11 asks what three elevens come to. Both are multiplications, of different pairs.

Why this sheet works

That is what makes the page worth doing once plain division facts are secure. A child who has only ever met 24 ÷ 6 = __ can get through those on recall alone; a gap somewhere else in the sentence makes them say what the fact actually means.
