Abstract
The novices pose problems in Mathematics differently than the skilled problem posers. There are many differences - e. g. the way of posing problems which is mostly linear in case of novices and mostly cyclic in case of skilled problem posers (Pelczer and Gamboa, 2009).
In the study we look at the situation where the poser rejects some of his/her ideas. Such situations can be connected with both linear and cyclic way.
Three situations connected with novices (and therefore usually with the linear model) in problem posing were described: Unintentional rejecting an idea, Rejecting an idea because of laziness and Rejecting an entire idea - the completely new beginning.
