Third grade is the year to learn multiplication facts. This year, I started a reward system for my students where they could "build" a pizza party. As they learned and passed a timed test for each set of facts, they earned more and more parts toward a pizza party.
2's were the plate, 5's were the sauce, 10's the cheese and so on. We got all the way up to 7's, 8's and 9's with a cookie, coke, and free homework pass. It was a fun way to do it. And this smart teacher made the reward land on Valentine's Day. We knocked out all the wild stuff in one day!
