We have run across conflicting text as to the alignment of the signs of operation and the separation lines in long division. Can you look at the attached problem and suggest how you would place in the attached example in numeric mode UEB technical.
Malcolm Pfeiffer
Thank you for the question.
Guidelines for Technical Material does not give us firm instruction about where to place signs of operation in a spatial arrangement.
Consistency is key to setting the braille user up for success.
For what it is worth, members of this committee tend to place operation symbols one cell to the left of the leftmost number *in the calculation that the operation sign is part of.*
