Wiki Reviews:
Math Tips http://mathtips.wikispaces.com/
This wiki has 6 problems from the 8th Grade Math TAKS and a play back of the solution for each.
I could see using this in my classroom, perhaps assigning a problem and solution for homework, or providing a link on my website for student reference.
Welker’s Wikinomics Page http://welkerswikinomics.wetpaint.com/?t=anon
This is a high school AP and IB economics wiki. It is very well done, and obviously a lot of work has gone into it.
I particularly liked the test review section. I can see a feature like that being very useful for students.
Open PD http://openpd.wikispaces.com/
This is a wiki for online professional development. They offer sessions for computer/web training.
This would be interesting to use for a general math wiki. Sessions could be offered for math topics like “integer operations”, “working with fractions”, etc.
