The purpose of the study was to investigate the process of discovering new theories through the 'flow' approach for 11th graders who did not have previous experiences regarding the theorem of Simson and theorem of Longuerre. The participants of the study consisted of 4 high school 11th graders those who categorized as upper 10 percent level academically. The results of research are the following : 1) if the students were given opportunities and allowed enough time to flow some mathematical topics, then they could discover the new theory by themselves. 2)Also, it was difficult for them to flow in case they could not balance between challenge and function among the components of 'flow'. Accordingly it would be important to set up a favorable environment to bond the challenging problems and the high level of mathematical abilities.
