Double & Half Missing Numbers Worksheets are the perfect no-prep resource to help your students strengthen their understanding of doubling and halving. Designed to reinforce mental strategies, these worksheets challenge students to complete number patterns by identifying missing values in doubling or halving sequences.

Each worksheet features a variety of boxes with numbers that either double or halve as the pattern progresses. Some numbers are missing, requiring students to use logical reasoning and apply their understanding of multiplying and dividing by 2 to complete the sequence. This engaging format encourages critical thinking and helps solidify key numeracy concepts in a visual and accessible way.

Whether used during rotations, as a warm-up, early finisher activity or as part of a relief day plan, these worksheets provide meaningful practice for developing number sense and fluency. Best of all - they’re print-and-go!
