 * "Applied math wiki: students write about and illustrate places where they actually use math to solve a problem"
 * "A student-made glossary of scientific terms with illustrations and definitions added by the class"

 * "A collaborative project with studetns in another location or all over the world: A day in the life of an Amercian/Japanese/French/Brazilian/Mexican family."
