'to a lazy student' implies you want to see them do work, so the instruction would be 'Show your work'. 'Show your working' is something to say if you want to understand how they attempted to reach an answer.
Assuming you mean a math problem. I think, as a humanities bod, I'd think of "workings", but would think about whether I want to see their process (working?) or their raw materials (workings?).
I know both lazy and diligent students who do not submit work, to whom I might order, "Show your work." Especially if they were a photographer or artist.
To a lazy person whom I didn't want to get caught out - and to a colleague often accused of not being around enough - "Show you're working".
