Proficiency with fractions is an important foundation for learning more advanced mathematics. Fractions are a student’s first introduction to abstraction in mathematics and, as such, provide the best introduction to algebra in the elementary and middle school years. (Skip Fennel, NCTM)

Important Idea in CCSS: Develop understanding of fractions as numbers
A formal introduction to fractions begins in Grade 3, where the Number and Operations—Fractions domain first appears in the mathematics standards.
Students begin with the concept of unit fractions (3.NF.A.1).
They learn that fractions are numbers on a number line and that they partition the whole into parts (3.NF.A.2.a).
They also relate fractions to length measurement (3.NF.A.2.b).
Third graders can explain equivalence of fractions and whole numbers by size and location on the number line (3.NF.A.3.a) as well as recognize and generate equivalent fractions using visual fraction models (3.NF.A.3.b).
Finally, third graders compare fractions, looking at the numerators and denominators, and recognize that comparisons are valid only when they refer to the same whole (3.NF.A.3.d).
