| | nine-way intersection test | Explanation:
I have a feeling that your original is talking about this test of a person's spatial abilities and the ability to understand an abstract representation of a spatial reality. This test is usually administered to adults as part of a psychological battery of tests and not to children. It is a fairly advanced test which could be used in a military training context. It is a kind of map-reading exercise to see if the subject can correlate directions on a map when at an intersection where there are nine choices of directions which can be followed. I do not have time to look for Internet references to back up this answer but I think this is the gist of it.

As I said, it is not usually administered to children so I am not certain that this is it, but putting it forward as a possibility. |

Explanation:
De 'negensprong' wordt ook gebruikt als naam van een educatief rekenspel (zie onderstaande links). Het gaat dan om de combinatie van ruimtelijk inzicht en rekenen. Misschien is dit ook bruikbaar in jouw context?
NB. Mathelli vertaalt het ondergenoemde spel 'Negensprong' zelf als 'Jumping Nines'. Zie de afbeelding van de speldoos.
Negensprong - vermenigvuldigen tot 100
Bij dit spannende gezelschapsspel probeert iedere speler zo snel mogelijk drie rondjes van zijn kleur op een rechte lijn in het middenveld te plaatsen. Maar voor elk rondje moet de speler telkens een pittige vermenigvuldiging oplossen en uiteindelijk is de winnaar pas bekend bij het plaatsen van het laatste rondje. Met Negensprong oefenen de kinderen bijna ongemerkt het vermenigvuldigen van getallen tot 100.
