I wish this was an original idea, but it's borrowed. We are always looking for a better way to assess multiplication. At the end of the year, our team holds a multiplication party for students who have mastered their facts to 12 x's 12. We hold up a mixed set of cards and the students have 3 seconds to answer (no using their fingers!). Students cannot take the final mixed set quiz until they have mastered through 12 x's 12. One way we practice is playing Around the World and Multiplication BINGO often.
The picture below shows the way our team has set up a file folder with each set of multiplication problems separated. Following that picture is another showing the spreadsheet I use to check off how far each student has gone in his/her mastery. I keep this placed in a clear sheet protector taped to the front of the folder.
