This study aims at describing the completion of non-routine word problem of fractional topic in junior high school student. The completion is related to the four-step solution of Polya. The subject of the study is a seven-grade student of junior high school. The subject was given non-routine word problem of fractional topic and continued with in-depth interview. Time triangulation was done to get valid data where equal test and interview were given at different time. The result showed that the student was able to solve the problem uniquely. At the time of re-examination, the student did not recheck her work but she substituted the final answer in the problem to match with the problem.
