Abstract

This study aims to description of students' mathematical creative thinking abilities on triangles and rectangles, which involves 4 indicators namely fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. The method in this study was a qualitative descriptive study, which was conducted on 31 students at one junior high school in Cipatat sub-District. Data in this study were obtained through tests and interviews. The results of this study concluded that students' mathematical creative thinking ability was divided into three groups, namely a group of high mathematical creative thinking abilities with at least three indocators, a medium group that has exactly three indicators and a lower group that has exactly one indicator. In the four indicators of students' mathematical creative thinking, there is a tendency that the level of flexibility is well mastered.
