I can only think of the Sage interacts, available on the Sage wiki http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/calculus I posted a few downloadable worksheets here http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/teaching/worksheets/ but they are unorganized and it's hard to tell what they are about without downloading them and running them.
I'll ask the folks at sage-edu and send you their response. Does anyone on this list know of a good place for Prof Hoffman's calculus students to download some Sage demos? Maybe there are some published worksheets somewhere that would be useful?
