In the paper I focus on the following aspects: grasping word problem assignments levels of understanding and students’ solution strategies and their relation to their understanding of the solved word problems. This is a part of broader research project aimed at the following questions: What is going on between the posing of a word problem and the students’ answer? What kinds of experience will help students to perform well on word problems? What sort of practice may help?
