The present research examines mathematics pre-service teachers' flexibility in problem posing in four environments: with technology and with 'What if not' strategy, with technology but without 'What if not' strategy, without technology but with 'What if not' strategy, and without technology and without 'What if not'. Seventy-nine pre-service teachers participated in the research. The research findings show that the participants used three posing approaches that included six strategies and posed ten problem types. The group, who used technology and ‘What if not’ strategy, used all the six strategies and raised all types of problems. It can be concluded that the combination
between technology and 'What if not' strategy affected positively the participants' flexibility in problem posing.
