Math Editors for Wikis: Wikispaces support LaTeX. All you have to do is surround the LaTeX code with [[math]] tags (i.e. one before and one after). Also, there's a free online LaTeX Equation editor at http://www.codecogs.com/components/equationeditor/equationeditor.php

http://www.sitmo.com/latex/

This one is also LaTeX based, but a bit simpler than the codecogs one. If you demo'd how to create square roots and fractions with it, I think most of your students would catch on.

If you're using macs, the built-in Grapher program does pretty simple math formatting too, but it sounds like you want an online tool. One more LaTeX one: http://www.texify.com

If you haven't seen LaTeX before, radicals are as simple as \sqrt{x + 1} And fractions done like this: \frac{a^2 - b^2}{a + b}

MathType5 ($57 academic pricing)

A very useful application but with a limited shelf-life. The site says: "You will have 30 days in which to enjoy all of the features of MathType. After 30 days, if you have not purchased a registration number, MathType will become MathType Lite. This is exactly like Equation Editor, with the bonus of MathType's fonts and symbols.

Or you could follow this tip from a professor of mathematics:

To express an Algebraic Equation in Microsoft Word use the built in Microsoft Equation 3.0 add in.
Click where you want to insert the equation.
On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click Microsoft Equation 3.0.
If Microsoft Equation Editor is not available, you may need to install it. If you originally installed Microsoft Office from a network file server or from a shared folder, you must install Equation Editor from that location. If you installed Office from a CD-ROM, you must install Equation Editor from the disc.
Click OK.
Build the equation by selecting symbols from the Equation toolbar and by typing variables and numbers. From the top row of the Equation toolbar, you can choose from more than 150 mathematical symbols. From the bottom row, you can choose from a variety of templates or frameworks that contain symbols such as fractions, integrals, and summations.
If you need help, click Equation Editor Help Topics on the Help menu.
To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document anywhere.

Moodle Math Questions Generator -

This program will generate a Moodle XML file containing numeric questions.

For the questions to display properly you need the Math Scripts turned on on your moodle server or you need to do a delete the @@ symbols in the resulting xml file
