Cuisenaire rods
Though primarily used for mathematics, they have also become popular in language-teaching classrooms, particularly The Silent Way.
They can be used
- to demonstrate most grammatical structures such as prepositions of place, comparatives & superlatives, determiners, tenses, adverbs of time, manner, etc.
- to show sentence and word stress, rising and falling intonation and word groupings
- to create a visual model of constructs, for example the English verb tense system .
