A calculus wiki for those wicked-long problems so the class can collaborate on how to solve them (a “wicked wiki”?)
A geometry wiki for students to share and rewrite proofs (a geometwiki?). What a great way to see the different approaches to the same problem!
Applied math wiki: students write about and illustrate places where they actually used math to solve a problem.
Procedures wiki: groups explain the steps to a mathematical procedure, such as factoring a polynomial or converting a decimal to a fraction.
Pure numbers wiki: student illustrate numbers in as many ways possible: as graphics to count, as mathematical expressions, etc. Elementary students can show graphic illustrations of multiplication facts, for example.

You can also leave links for sudents to use to find more assistance in their work. One of the links below will take you to an online math lab where students can review basic algebra, advanced algebra and geometry skills. The other link is a website that contains many pencasts, several that walk through how to do a problem with the use of Livescribe pens
