Teaching Algebra with Manipulative Pieces

To begin, I am working on an elaborate collection of resources for teaching Algebra to Grade 7 and 8 students, i have a post discussing this already-however what I found exceptionally interesting is this package located at this URL

https://www.saultschools.org/cms/lib/MI17000143/Centricity/Domain/137/a2tam.pdf

it contains printable sheets that can be utilized as manipulative pieces just as tangible pieces could as well. It is interesting to see the substitution tiles. Chapters specifically looked at are also quite useful for class teaching strategies/using manipulative pieces (for example, looking at Chapter 3 "Solving equations").

I am currently diving into the commonsense/org lesson plans and checking out how they are utilizing manipulative pieces to teach Linear Equations in grade 7.

Excellently laid out and described lesson plans.

I'll be posting again with resources I am sure!
