Missing number worksheets

Equations with one empty box, for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or a mix.

About this worksheet

Each equation has exactly one missing number, so there is only one correct answer. Put the box in the result, in the first number, in the second number, or let it vary.

Finding a missing number builds the inverse-operation thinking that later becomes algebra.
