This paper focuses on problem solving and problem posing in mathematics education with 6-year-olds. After working ona problem-solving activity, the young students were asked to pose a similar task to a friend. This article explores how thestudents interpret the notion of similar. To be able to pose a problem-solving task themselves the students had to changeperspective, from searching for information to providing information, and from searching for a solution to searching for aquestion. Also, to create a similar task the students had to reflect on the original problem-solving task. Thus, their posedtasks shed light on their interpretation of what the original problem-solving task was really about. The results show that thelarge majority of the students included some three-dimensional aspects from the original problem-solving task in their posedtasks. However, the questions they posed varied in terms of whether or not they included mathematical elements.
