Sometimes (often) elementary math books present difficulties in formatting. I would probably braille the counting numbers first, followed by the spatial addition problem, then the poem and linear problem, in the order shown in print. However, there is no absolutely right way to do this kind of stuff. Keep in mind that there is probably some purpose to the order in which the information is presented to the reader and the transcriber should try to maintain that order. Consistency in the formatting of the braille version is important.

I apologize for being so hasty with my answer. The Omega when representing “ohm” is an abbreviation of measure, so it is spaced as as an abbreviation. But the ohm and the Angstrom Unit are both punctuated mathematically.

I have been told that for grades k-3 we are to draw the counting blocks. My suggestion for the thousands block is to draw a 3-dimensional cube without the inside lines and state that it represents the thousand cube. However, I think this question can be better answered by the Tactile Graphics expert, so re-post to that forum. I will monitor the response so I know what the answer is also.

If a dash is used in print, use a double dash in braille. If a blank space is used in print, use the full cell.
