It depends on what they're doing - if they show their work and get it wrong, then I can give partial credit for trying (instead of guessing), but no work and I can't do that. If it's right and the directions called for showing work, then I take off for that - the reason is, many times, how the student gets to the answer is as important as the answer, especially in early grades (I teach middle school - but my special ed kids are using a 3rd grade book that matches their current abilities) when teachers are trying to develop an understanding of the basic operations - too many kids can compute when given problems, but can't apply, because they don't understand what they're doing - just following memorized steps. Also (not that I'm saying you do this - but it is rampant in some places) if the student shows the work, it is much less likely that answers were simply provided by the parents - even if the parent dictates the steps (and stranger things have happened... I had one parent really upset when I wouldn't accept her son's make up work in her handwriting, even though she said he'd told her what to write...) the student will learn something from hearing the steps and writing them down, even when they are dictated - but just writing the answers without showing work makes it hard for a teacher to know if the student really did it. If he doesn't need paper to computer, then he could write the problem and the answer... if the teacher won't accept that either, I'd go have a friendly chat, maybe ask her to watch him complete his work to see that he really is doing it that way and doesn't need to write it down - but honestly, it's going to be an issue for years, so it might be in his best interest to learn to write his steps now, because he's going to have to in the future.
And some of this, too, isn't the teacher - with No Child Left Behind tests, some of the credit is for showing your work - in Colorado, it is possible to get more points for showing how you got a wrong answer than not showing how you got a right answer... so we are strongly encouraged to get kids in the habit of showing their steps, even if they can do the work in their heads...
