LaTeX Example files.  There are "LaTeX Notes" at the end of most of these:

 Skeleton LaTeX file  ( you can use this for your writing assignments instead of starting from scratch.)
 LaTeX Example #1 (proof that |xy| = |x| |y| for all x and y)
 LaTeX Example #2  (problem 1.31 - contains displayed equations with labels)


Links on the Writing of Mathematics:

 Writing Mathematics Well (Kevin P. Lee, Purdue University Calumet)  (very useful "Guide to Writing Mathematics", "Mathematical Writing Checklist" and "Writing Mathematics with LaTeX".)
 A Brief Guide to Writing (Mathematics) Homework Solutions - Richard A. Holmgren - Allegheny College
 A Guide to Writing in Mathematics Classes - Dr. Annalisa Crannell - Franklin & Marshall College
