Turn multiplication practice into a strategy puzzle.

This is not a basic times-table worksheet.

Students must reverse-engineer missing factors, analyze patterns, and solve a hidden diagonal mystery.

The final twist? They calculate a secret sum from labeled cells A–E.

It’s fluency meets logical deduction.

Perfect for upper elementary and middle school classrooms that want rigor without boring drills.
