Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine problem solving and posing skills of elementary school fourth-grade students. For this purpose, the students were first taught to solve problems and then, they were made to solve problems in the study. Subsequently, they were taught to pose problems, and they were made to pose problems. In problem solving education, the teaching was structured according to Polya's problem solving stages. As for posing problems, the teaching was structured according to Stoyanova and Ellerton's free, semi-structured and structured problem posing situations. The problems that the students solved and posed were examined. The problems solved were evaluated according to the critical behaviours determined for each of the four stages of Polya. The problems posed were evaluated in three main categories as 'problem', 'not a problem' and 'blank'. The following results were obtained in the study. The performance of students is low in the stages of understanding the problem, preparing the plan, implementing the plan and evaluating, which are the problem-solving stages. The number of the problems posed for free, semi-structured and structured problem-posing situations is high
