The importance of students having a mathematical habit of mind makes this soft skill need to be trained and developed since primary education. The low elementary school students’ habit of mind underlies the need for action in learning that can facilitate the growth of the habit. The researcher examines the effect of applying realistic mathematics on students’ habit of mind. The population of this study was fourth-grade elementary school students by taking a sample of 3 schools, where each sample consisted of two classes with a total of 144 students. The results of the study show that realistic mathematical approaches have a significant impact on increasing habit of mind of elementary school students.
