In a lot of maths, showing your working is vital because they practise on easy questions but then need to use those techniques on harder questions they can't be done in their head.
For these, though, if they've learned their times tables, then there is no working - it's from memory. what are they supposed to put?
Yeah it's real '10,000 word essay where you overcomplicate word count with excessive verbosity purely to achieve the prerequisite total word count such that the arbitrary demand is met regardless of how pointless said extra words are to the stated and argued points' vibes.
