http://www.didax.com/fraction-pieces/ - “The use of manipulatives enhances concept formation when both the concrete and the connecting stages are fully understood before moving to the abstract. Many concrete and virtual manipulatives are available to support the teaching of an array of concepts from number sense through algebra. Here you will find general information about manipulatives as well as instructions for the use of specific materials.”

This site offers manipulatives relevant for elementary grades, algebra, and geometry.

http://www.borenson.com/ - “Hands-On Equations is algebra for elementary and middle school students. Hands-On Equations gives students a concrete representation of the symbols and processes utilized in solving algebra problems. The symbols are represented by game pieces and a representation of a balance scale. The processes are represented by physical actions upon these pieces. As the algebra problems are solved students are actually seeing, touching and moving the pieces.
