Dang - my indentions didn't come through. Let me try this - the number is the cell number it begins in.
1 Egyptian
3 First Egyptian
5 Phoenician
7 Ancient Hebrew
9 Aramaic
7 Greek Alphabet
9 Ancient Roman
11 Modern Roman
9 Cyrillic Alphabet
3 South Arabian
5 Traditional

I'll contact BANA - but in the meantime, email me at cindilaurent@yahoo.com and I will send you the pdf. I have it downloaded 🙂

The best data is on the BANA website under codebooks.

I agree that they are state standard citations.
My suggestion for formatting:
Read and follow ...: regular 3-1 paragraph
Blank line
DEVELOPING A CH 1: Cell 5 heading
D1: Angle ...: 1-3 listed item
Score: 1-3 listed item
Blank line
LEVEL 2

The QBB4901 (1&2) with the update date would be the only potential Printing History.
But, in my opinion, there is no printing history on this page.

I apologize for the delay in answering - this post did not show up in my feed until today!
I so not see this as marginal labels. If you see it as marginal labels, then the first 'column' (Plan) is a marginal label for the 2nd column. I see this as three lists: Plan, Think, Write. I would make each of those cell 5 headings and then list the items underneath. This is telling the student to make a Plan (overall process), Think it through (shows more detail) and Write (actually do it). Making the 2nd column marginal labels adds a lot of 'stuff' for the reader to get through to find the math.

I'm assuming ALABAMA references the state and not any kind of publisher (since the Publisher is Accelerate Learning).
Student Notebook; 5th Grade
STEMscopesTM
ALABAMA
Per BF, the grade level goes on the same line as the title (separated by a semicolon).
My reasoning for this order is that STEMscopes seems more like a series name and the state is a state-specific heading. The book is actually the Student Notebook...so that is the title I would recommend.
If this makes you still unsure, ask the requestor what they want as the title. 🙂

I have never seen that symbol before. There is no braille equivalent. I would suggest you use a transcriber-defined symbol indicator (rule 3.26 of UEB). It gives the appearance of some type of grouping indicator...does the surrounding text explain it at all?

My first thought is that this should be drawn as the student needs to create a graph. But if that is not possible, include a TN that says something like "Print shows a blank grid for a graph. The grid includes an x- and y-axis with 6 additional horizontal lines." It might be helpful to see the previous question - is question 9 indicating that EACH horizontal line is considered an "axis line" and those are what the student is supposed to label - or are they truly talking about the "axis" lines (which I would take to mean the bottom line and the line to the left (x- and y-axis))?
The 'Title:' should be centered above the graph and the 'Key:' should be between the title and the graph. I'd put 'Key:' in cell 7 as that is where a key usually is in braille.

Would it be possible to see the front of the book (or at the very least the page before the copyright page which I can almost read but not quite 🙂 )?

Please try to repost the photo - it did not upload in the previous post.
Without seeing it, my answer would be that whatever source information is included in print should be included in braille according to Braille Formats.

I thought I should post again. I was reminded that on protractors, rulers and thermometers, the number sign is omitted (per Tactile Graphics Guidelines) so it really doesn't matter if they are done in UEB or Nemeth as they can easily be done in either code without changing what appears in braille. If you are in Nemeth already, you can stay in Nemeth. If you are in UEB, you could stay in UEB. Obviously if any of the numbers are decimals, negative numbers, or degrees, they would have to be done in Nemeth. Sorry for the confusion!

Number lines should be done in Nemeth. I would take that to include rulers. However, if you are talking about, say, the sides of a triangle that are measured 3, 7, 9, those could be done in UEB. I guess I am not clear what you mean be "measuring devices". If this has not answered your question, please provide a picture of the page in question.
