This research is motivated by the difficulty of students in expressing economic problems in verbal and linear program languages. It is important to develop a linear program teaching material through realistic mathematic education approach with problem solving strategies with national character. This study aims to describe the needs of students and lecturers on the linear program teaching materials. this teaching material applies a realistic mathematics education approach to problem solving strategies. problem in this study relates to national economic problems. This research is mixed type of research design. Research instruments in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Subject of research 225 students and 7 lecturers. The results showed that linear program teaching materials are very important for students and lecturers. They get teaching material from the internet. The material they need is short, clear and the evaluation is in the form of a description. They need economic-based linear program teaching materials through realistic Mathematics education approach with problem-solving strategies with the national character.
