Incomplete number sentences multiplication and division

A multiplication and division maths practice worksheet created by an experienced primary-school teacher for Year 3 children.

The number sentences in this worksheet each have one number or one symbol (x or ÷) missing. You’ll need to know your 2, 5, 10, 3, 6 and 8 times tables to work out what it is!

What maths should a Year 3 child be able to do?

Here is the maths your Year 3 child will be expected to learn:

Number and place value

• Counting in increments of 4, 8, 50 and 100.
• Identifying the place value of each digit in a three-digit number.
• Comparing and ordering numbers up to 1000, and writing these numbers in both numerals and words.

Calculating

• Adding and subtracting numbers with up to three digits using column methods.
• Knowing the multiplication facts for the 3, 4, and 8 times tables.
• Multiplying two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

Fractions

• Finding fractions of given quantities.
• Understanding and recognising equivalent fractions.
• Adding and subtracting fractions that have the same denominator.

Measuring

• Adding and subtracting measurements of length, weight and capacity.
• Calculating the perimeter of simple 2D shapes.
• Adding and subtracting amounts of money.
• Telling and writing the time using both the 12-hour and 24-hour clock.

Geometry

• Drawing 2D shapes and constructing 3D shapes.
• Recognising right angles and determining if angles are greater or smaller than a right angle.
• Identifying horizontal and vertical lines, as well as pairs of parallel and perpendicular lines.

Statistics

• Interpreting and presenting data using bar charts, pictograms, and tables.
• Answering one-step and two-step questions based on the presented data.

How do incomplete sentences help children practise maths skills?

• Encourages critical thinking
  Children must identify the missing elements, fostering deeper understanding.
   
• Enhances problem-solving skills
  They require learners to apply strategies to find the correct solution.
   
• Builds flexibility in thinking
  Children learn there are multiple ways to approach and solve problems.
   
• Improves number sense
  They help students recognise patterns and understand relationships between numbers.
