I get the 1/2 squares, sorta, since there's two of them. It's not good math, but there's a logic there. (Like when your parents count to three and make a really big deal about 2-1/2 to show they're not fucking around.)
If it was bigger, I'd guess maybe you're supposed to hop on those like a frog and put hands and 1 foot in the "3/4" and the other foot in the "1/4"? But it looks like that's a gogurt type thing
It's meant to indicate a rhythm. 1/2 is a half note, 1/4 is a quarter note, and 3/4 is a dotted half note. Once you see it being done correctly it makes perfect sense.
This is a unicorn themed gogurt, the other side says something like "fun unicorn fact: they cheat at hopscotch" so yeah it's pretty much for people with 4 legs too :)
So did I at first. Then I thought "Why would there be hopscotch on a tampon wrapper?" But I don't use tampons and was afraid to say anything in case there was some reason for tampon hopscotch that makes perfect sense if you have a uterus.
It's pretty simple. You toss a coin or a pebble or something before you start. One foot per square, so you're hopping on one foot when there's no side-by-side squares. You jump over the square the coin/pebble/whatever is in and pick it up as you go. (When I was a kid, most kids picked it up before jumping over the square just because that was easier than trying to lean back.) If you lose your balance or have more than one foot in a square at any time, you're out.
It’s to help teach young kids who are learning math what the sequence of numbers look like while making it into a game that also helps them learn balance and coordination. You jump (typically done with one foot only) towards the corresponding number you throw the pebble towards in the right order, to and back
i.e. if the pebble lands on 7, you start at 1 counting up to 7 and counting back down to one without losing your balance or hopping onto the wrong number.

But I'm lost at the 1/4 and 3/4.
I think the 1/4 3/4 squares are meant to be touched separately, whereas the two 1/2 squares are touched at the same time?

So it goes 1, 2, 3, step real quick on 4-1/2, trip on 5-1/4, and faceplant on 6.
🤣
1/4 limb on one 3/4 limbs on the other. Not amputee friendly.
You put 1/4 of your leg on that part
Pretty sure the halfs are two feet at the same time, then 1/4 and 3/4 are done in that order with left and right foot
It's obviously for people with 4 legs. Come on!

Hopscootch never made sense to me as a game anyway. I'm either really good at hopping on one leg sometimes, or I never learned the correct rules.

Maybe they would need to remember how to do hopscotch so they can get it out easier /s
The joke is that when you land on two feet, you are "splitting" the number.
4 1/2 + 4 1/2 is 9, not 4
This is completely nonsensical and it’s apparently very divisive. 😂 Definitely crappy design.
I think its just to teach basic fractions
I.e. 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 and 1/4 + 3/4 = 1
That's because it's AI
My guess is that it's made with AI, so it's nonsensical altogether.
I'm a millennial who never learned hopscotch, so this is a wild discussion to peep.

Where do the numbers come in?

Seems you’re supposed to be learning fractions, so step in order. The ones that are the same would be stepped at the same time
I'd know exactly how to do it if I saw that chalked on the sidewalk.
hint: on some of the doubles you put both feet down, on others you hop on one side then the other.
second hint: you just hop or jump them in numerical order. If two are the same, you land with both feet.
The 3/4 tiles are to indicate which foot you hop with for the next square.
No! It's so tiny!
If you can hop from 1 to 3 to 5 3/4 on one foot, you're instantly teleported to Hogwarts.
Looks like a penis
It's just in metric /s
Hopping the squares correctly will send you to another dimension.
Honestly this makes decent sense to me
1/2's are two foot hops, 1/4&3/4 are one at a time
I swear to god it’s like you guys never had to do mundane tasks like adding fractions and it shows
The fractions don’t add to anything significant 🥀🥀
No shit it’s a simple children’s exercise not quantum hopscotch
Brother what the fuck do the fractions mean then if a simple children’s exercise? Fr I’m lost as to what your original point is
You responded on my thread not the other way around. You have the issue here if you are not understanding this
What’s to understand? You came in aggressively and not making any sense. You brought it up, the onus is on you.
In other words: you cannot explain it as well, therefore you come with a copout like 'this is my thread' 😂
Indeed it's quantum hopscotch, luckily for you. Since you cannot even handle elementary logic.
In other words I already explained it. Adding fractions
Lol, you didn't explain anything. You just showed your own lack of critical thinking 😂

No you didn't. No one has to.

You using it only keeps it alive longer.
Good for you for not caring about downvotes I guess?🙄
I mean, I don’t give a shit about downvotes. Neither should you 😁
If we keep using it, the kids will stop. So hey, I’ll keep doing it. 🫡
Cool, I don't. Weird assumption. And yeah that's not how any of that works.
I thought you didn't care about downvotes and did it to stop 6-7?
You deleting your own comment just proved otherwise, and that your fragility didn't like the downvotes😂
Oh, 6-7
