This is the band where the tables have to become automatic, and the facts children stumble on are remarkably consistent: 6 × 7, 7 × 8, 8 × 9 and anything times 12. Everything else is usually already fluent. If practice keeps breaking on the same three or four facts, those are the whole homework list — a fluent answer takes under three seconds and involves no counting up.
Third grade belongs to the times tables. Multiplication and division are introduced together, area and arrays give them a picture, and rounding to the nearest ten and hundred begins. It is the highest-leverage year in elementary arithmetic: the tables learned here carry fractions, long multiplication and mental math for the rest of school, and gaps left now surface for years.
3rd graders are expected to recall the tables to 10 × 10 in any order, not only by reciting them in sequence; after that comes the full grid to 10 × 10, mixed rather than recited in order.
Watch for the small cluster of 6 × 7, 7 × 8 and 8 × 9, which almost always accounts for the gap.
