🖍️ Colour by Number Multiplication Worksheet – Find the Missing Factor

Are you looking for a way to keep your students engaged while practising multiplication concepts? This maths worksheet will help your students strengthen their understanding of factors.

This colour-by-number worksheet requires students to find the missing factor in a multiplication equation. After students find the missing factor, they are to colour in the space with the corresponding colour designated by the key. This worksheet includes 30 problems focusing on multiplication facts 1–12.

An answer page is included with your download to make checking fast and easy!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

For students looking for a bit of a challenge, encourage them to create division problems for each box with the quotient equal to the missing factor.

If you have students who need additional support, provide a multiplication or skip counting chart to assist them.
