These Year 5 Missing Number Problems homework sheets help children practise solving addition and subtraction equations where one number is missing.
To solve each calculation, pupils must use inverse operations and their understanding of number relationships to work out the missing value.
The worksheets are fully differentiated into three ability levels so that all learners can work at an appropriate challenge level.
Each sheet contains 18 carefully structured questions that encourage pupils to think mathematically about how numbers relate to each other.
The questions include a mixture of formats such as:
• A + □ = B
• □ + A = B
• A = B + □
• A − □ = B
• □ − A = B
• A = B − □
These different equation structures help pupils build strong reasoning skills and develop confidence with inverse operations and missing number calculations.
The numbers increase in difficulty across the three worksheets, with larger values and more challenging reasoning required at higher levels.
These worksheets are ideal for classroom use, homework tasks, intervention groups, or independent maths practice.
They are particularly useful for preparing pupils for Year 5 assessments, SATs practice and NAPLAN maths questions.
