"Finding Missing Numbers in an Equation, Multiples, and Factors Practice" is a worksheet that is designed to give students practice with one-variable equations and other skills that relate to algebra. Problems can include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with one missing number or letter. In some cases, the problem asks students to find the missing number. Others ask students to solve for the value of the letter. Additional problems simply state the equation and students must know how to solve it.

The worksheets also include questions pertaining to finding factors and multiples. Questions include finding the least common multiple or greatest common factor of two different numbers. Some questions include both, asking students to find whether the greatest common factor of two numbers is smaller than, greater than, or equal to the least common multiple.

Each page contains multiple questions that are organized into boxes, with some boxes containing more than one question. Each box includes extra space for students to write out their thinking as they find the answer.

When learning how to solve one-variable equations, it's helpful to have students practice other skills that relate to algebra. For example, if students are ready to tackle one-variable problems with fractions, you can ask them to find the least common multiple and the greatest common factor of two numbers. Adding and subtracting negative numbers is also a good skill for students to practice, as is learning the order of operations.

Students just beginning to learn algebraic concepts can solve equations where the number is missing, while older students can solve equations where a letter replaces the number. When walking through problems together as a class, invite students to share how they found the answer, especially if they found the correct answer a different way than others.
