I rescanned it and hopefully it is more clear now. Thank you for your patience. I agree, it is state standards notations. I will transcribe in UEB, but how would you format these? Displayed material margins? And would you include or omit the "Score:"? I am asking just because it seems to be extraneous material that the sighted student would just skip over quickly, but the braille reader has to take the time to read through. Thank you for your insight.

This was very helpful information, and I especially appreciated your thoughts that we need to let the student, at this age, take charge of voicing their needs. Thank you.

I like both of these suggestions, but may go with the second one. Would I put a blank space after the underscore and before the parenthesis, or would it be unspaced? Thank you.
Good morning, and thank you so much for everyone's input. It is really appreciated, and I feel it helps me to grow as a transcriber. Although I don't have actual contact with this student, I do collaborate with her TVI, and I will share the advice you have given me about the actual models. In fact, I will do one better! After reading the advice Don suggested, I scrounged around in my teaching bins and I found about 8 different of these cardboard models from years ago, and I will send them along to the teacher to use with the student. I attached a picture of two of these models. Though I might not every model that corresponds with each shape in the book, it should be enough that the teacher might see how these are done and create any missing ones. I will still plan to make a tactile graphic in my transcription for the 1st and 3rd steps (omitting the 2nd, and placing a TN before the first occurrence in the transcription).
A follow-up question: would it be recommended for me to put a note on the TN page, something to the effect of, due to the difficulty presented with hidden lines within the 3D diagrams, hands-on experience with actual models are suggested? I didn't know if that was outside the realm of what a transcriber could or should do, but would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for explaining the two possible options. I think I am going to go with omitting the circles and substituting brackets to reduce the clutter.

Thank you, I should have mentioned that I am doing this in Nemeth embedded in UEB code. I will use the Tiger software for the drawn lines, and will use the NI above and below the number lines.

Thank you, Kyle, for your helpful answer and in getting back to me so quickly! And, yes, I did sign up for the upcoming webinar series and am looking forward to it.

That makes sense about omitting the outer container box and explaining that in a TN. Thank you.
