Division — Missing Number: what children learn
Missing-number division problems use the matching multiplication fact: if a number divided by 4 is 7, then 7 × 4 = 28, so the number is 28.

24 ÷ __ = 6 4
6 × 4 = 24, so 24 ÷ 4 = 6. The missing number is 4.
Division — Missing Number: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes put the answer to the division in the blank instead of the missing number.
Division — Missing Number: how to help at home or in class
Write three versions of one fact with a different box each time: 24 ÷ 4 = __, 24 ÷ __ = 6, and __ ÷ 4 = 6. Ask your child which is easiest and why, then have them solve all three by finding the matching multiplication fact first. They will notice that the unknown can be a quotient, a divisor or a starting amount. When picking the right fact is automatic, fact families tie it all together.
