By adopting action research method, the research was conducted for the duration of a semester in the mathematics class of the third grade which the researcher has been teaching. The researcher designed seven posing problem units according to the mathematics textbook of grade three. During the period, the researcher gathered data by taking videos, interviews, keeping diary and taking notes of students activities and students* works. The study started from the groping stage, then transition stage, and finally mature stage. After these three stages, students have learned to pose problems at home.
