About this resource

Description

Knowing how multiplication and division fit together makes every fact easier to remember. This Mouses Missing Numbers Multiplication Division activity helps 3rd and 4th grade students find the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation, wherever the missing number appears.

In Mouse’s Missing Numbers, children match 12 lettered cheese problem cards to 12 mouse answer cards. Each problem, like 7 × ? = 49 or ? ÷ 6 = 5, has exactly one mouse card that makes it true, so students use related facts instead of guessing. They write each answer on the recording sheet and check their work with the answer key. Print the cards one-sided and make a few straight cuts on the dashed lines. A 3rd grade practice page gives six new problems, each with a check problem that uses the opposite operation.

What’s Included

  • A colorful cover page
  • A How to Use page with simple steps and prep tips
  • 12 cheese problem cards and 12 mouse answer cards
  • A recording sheet for all 12 problems
  • A 3rd grade practice worksheet: solve, then check with the related fact
  • A recording sheet answer key and a practice answer key

Why This Activity Helps Kids

  • Finding the unknown in every position builds real fluency with multiplication and division facts.
  • Checking each answer with the opposite operation shows how multiplying and dividing are connected.
  • A matching card game turns fact practice into something children want to play again.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Use this 3rd grade multiplication activity at a math center, with a partner or as a quick warm-up. Time a round and try to beat it the next day, or ask students to write a word problem for one of the cheese cards, just like the original activity. Send the practice page home for extra review. Come back to this Mouses Missing Numbers Multiplication Division activity whenever students need a fun review of multiplication and division facts.
