Just let him write what he needs to for the answer. No way should he have to copy a problem over. That would drive my ds nuts!

It sounds like the problem is laid out on the test like this for example:

135
-167

with boxes for carrying and answer.

DS has to retype the problem on panther to then solve it obviously. Not sure there is a way around tha - you do the same on scrap paper, right? But then he writes the answer on the test. which I think is odd. Can't he just leave it on math paper and send it to teacher when done. I have hopes that the AT evaluator will help with sort of thing - this streamlining the process a little better.
