MS Math Add-In for Word 2007
I mention this because this is just the thing I've wanted to be able to check my kid's math homework: the Microsoft Math Add-In for Word 2007.
For example, after installing it, I can open Word, press Alt+= to get myself a new equation and then enter:
x^2 +2x + 2 + 3x - 4x^2
it translates into:
If I right-click and choose Simplify, I get the following:
If I right-click again and choose Plot in 2D, I get:
If I've got an equation that I want to solve, I can enter it:
and then right-click and choose Solve for x and get all the possible solutions:
This even works if you have multiple equations with multiple unknowns, which means this is good through at least 8th grade Algebra. Wahoo!

I suppose you could have acquired Maple, but that would probably have been overkill.
I now confidently predict a huge upswing in the number of maths-related blog posts, and a mass outbreak of humorous graphs and equations.
