Students in junior high school frequently erroneously solving multiplicative word problems. Students in this stage should be able to understand the known and what is asked, what the strategies properly, and how to execute it become the right one. It has close related with student problem solving behavior, it is given provided description of the students' behaviour. The purpose is to investigate students' problem solving behavior on solving multiplicative word problem. This study conducted on a class of 7Ath class in SMPN 39 Surabaya, consist of 27 girls and 15 boys, and had chosen purposively from ninth classes. Students had to answer multiplicative word problem, based on result show that there are three category students when solve the task. Three volunteer students were selected as research subject which have different ability that had interpreted as context this study, subjects needed for deep interview. The problem solving behavior of subject who solve the tasks multiplicative properly tend to Meaning Based Approach-justification (MBA-j), the problem solving behavior of subjects who solve exactly one task multiplicative additively tend to Meaning Based Approach-full context (MBA-fc), and the problem solving behavior of subjects who solve at least two task multiplicative additively tend to Direct Translation Approach-not proficient (DTA-np). © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
