Abstract: A test consisting of 12 mathematic word problems which were problematic from a realistic point of view was administered to 148 students from the fourth and the sixth grade.The results show that 1) only one-fourth students solved problems from realistic point of view,an half of students show a strong tendency to exclude real-world knowledge from their solutions; 2) the sixth grade's realistic consideration on these problems is better than the fourth grade's,however,the standard solution on some problems in sixth grade was more than in fourth grade; 3) students'reaction to different kinds of problems is different.

Key words: Word problem, Realistic problem Standard solution, Realistic considerations
