Multiplication Table 10 Missing Factor Practice Activities
Printable Grade 2 worksheets help children find the missing factor in 10-times-table equations using patterns, products, and skip counting.
Practice that builds confidence
Building the 10-times-table pattern
These Grade 2 multiplication worksheets focus on missing factors in the 10 times table. Children practise equations such as 10 × __ = 60 and __ × 10 = 90, learning to connect a product ending in zero with the factor that makes it.
The printable activities give students repeated, varied practice with the same key idea: if they can count by tens and understand factor and product, they can solve the missing number. Problems are presented clearly so children can build accuracy before moving to mixed multiplication work.
Multiplying by 10 is one of the first multiplication patterns children can see and explain. In these worksheets, the product tells an important clue: 20, 30, 40, and other tens point back to the number of groups of ten. A child solving 10 × __ = 50 learns to think, “How many tens make 50?” rather than guessing.
Finding the missing factor
The main skill is identifying the unknown factor, not just reciting a multiplication fact. Children meet the missing number in different positions, including __ × 10 = 80 and 10 × __ = 30. This helps them understand that the two factors can switch places while the product stays the same. Useful vocabulary includes factor, product, groups of ten, skip count, and equation.
A simple parent routine
At home, begin with oral skip counting: 10, 20, 30, 40. Then point to a product, such as 70, and ask, “How many tens did we count to get here?” Have your child say the full equation aloud: “10 times 7 equals 70.” After a few examples, let them complete a worksheet section independently, then review any missed answers by counting tens together on fingers or using dimes, ten-sticks, or quick drawn groups.
Classroom uses
Teachers can use these pages for morning work, multiplication centers, small-group reteaching, or quick checks after introducing the 10 table. They also work well before mixed missing-factor practice because the number pattern is consistent and easy to visualize. Students who finish early can write a related fact beside each problem, such as changing 10 × 6 = 60 into 6 × 10 = 60.
Common errors to watch for
Some children write the product as the missing factor, for example putting 80 in 10 × __ = 80. Others count by ones instead of tens or forget that __ × 10 works the same way as 10 × __. Encourage them to circle the product, underline the 10, and ask, “How many groups of 10?”

Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice stays tightly focused on missing factors for the 10 table, so children are not distracted by harder facts too early. The clean layouts support careful equation reading, and the repeated structure helps Grade 2 students move from skip counting to confident multiplication reasoning. A child-friendly strategy is: read the equation, find the product, count tens to that number, then write how many tens you counted.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does “missing factor” mean in the 10 times table?
A missing factor is the unknown number in a multiplication equation. In `10 × __ = 60`, the missing factor is 6 because 6 groups of 10 make 60.
How can my child solve these without guessing?
Have your child look at the product and count by tens until they reach it. The number of tens counted is the missing factor.
Why do the worksheets include both `10 × __` and `__ × 10`?
Seeing the missing factor in both positions helps children understand that factors can switch order and still make the same product.
What should I do if my child writes the product in the blank?
Ask them to reread the equation and identify what the blank represents. Remind them that the blank asks for how many groups of 10, not the total.
Are these worksheets only for students who already know the 10 table?
They are useful for both practice and reinforcement. Children who can skip count by tens can use that pattern to find each missing factor.
Is this Grade 2 multiplication table 10 missing factor worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this Grade 2 multiplication table 10 missing factor worksheet as a PDF?
