The study adopted the bottom-up research method to explore the mathematical word problem solution strategies of the students by analyze their answering to the questions. The method of works analyzing is used to examine the 60 answering sheets of junior high school students in grade two of different achievements, such as students with excellent performance, students with moderate performance, students with low performance, and then the results is evaluated with the use of think-aloud method. Upon these works, we raised the opinion that the students initiate different types of solution strategies facing the mathematical word problems with moderate difficulties: the type of solution strategies for the students with excellent performance is "overlook type", the main feature is the solution endorses a good mastery of the conditions and questions; for the students with moderate performance, is "experience type", the main characteristic is that the solution depends on experiences and be short in flexibility and an overall understanding of the questions; for the students with low performance, is the "blinding type" in which the solution is not goal-oriented. Different types of solution strategies have a high-profile impact on the accuracy of the mathematical word problem, thus the teachers are suggested to implement a tailed teaching in the mathematical word problem for different types of solution strategies.
