The student has already in the first three grades been introduced to the four processes and has achieved skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Now in the fourth grade we enter into the world of smaller parts to gain facility in applying the four processes to fractions. Fractions are introduced within the context of a story of a king and his lands, who divides them first into quadrants (fourths), and then further divides the lands into pastures and fields, farmland and orchards, and ever smaller fractional parts.
