Abstract :This paper summarizes a research done at a graduate course. The researcher investigates the mathematization experience of three graduate students while solving a geometry problem. The participants were expected to go through a vertical mathematization derived from a real life example. However, only one of the participants was successful on exploration whereas the other two failed going further. Data exploring the possible reasons puts forward that their learning habits hindered them from exploring the problem although they agreed on their current knowledge was sufficient to solve the problem.Keywords : Geometrical thinking, mathematization, qualitative research
