show work 

a teachers polite way of saying "I think you cheated/are going to cheat." Usually written on math assignments.

I got all the problems correct on my math assignment, but the teacher handed it back to me with an "F" and a note that said "Show work." What a bitch! Everyone can calculate 95+40 off the top of their head!

Show your work 

Something math teachers ask you to do when they have nothing better to do and want to fill up their lesson with busy work in case the principal walks in.

"Don't forget to show your work."

"Why, though? The problem is 1+1..."

"Always show your work, no matter how useless it is, children. It will secure you a slot at your dream college."
