moodle can use the latex in the computer, then you can write latex directly in any moodle page, including wiki. On the other hand, sagetex allows to use sage inside latex documents. If you install sagetex and adequately configure the latex inside moodle, would this be sage-moodle integration? I

David, Thanks for the thoughts. I like your idea of using additional tabs or a toolbar. My idea of math operations could be implemented in a toolbar that sends code to a Sage session. Although it is a UI issue, I think it important for students to see the whole universe of possible operations
