Worksheets devoted exclusivity to homework problems would be a bad idea IMHO. So worksheets AND devoted to homework would be OK, but not OR worksheets related to mere homework problems. If one looks at the Wolfram Demonstrations Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ there are 6582 demos covering a wide range of topics, from games like hangman http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PlayHangman/ using the "times table" http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/MultiplicationTable/ to quantum mechanics http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/topic.html?topic=Quantum+Mechanics&limit=20 These are reviewed by Wolfram Reasearch staff (WRI even claim they count as academic publications!!) but generally the quality is good. That contrasts with the "published" documents I see often on the Sage servers, where they are little more than a "Hello world" or show tracebacks.
