Abstract
The research aims are as follows: describing the student's learning motivation and mathematics-creative thinking ability; testing their correlations; and calculating the contribution percentage of the learning motivation to the increase in the student’s mathematics-creative thinking ability. The total sample size is 619 students from ten primary schools. Data was collected by two methods, as follows: a questionnaire and a test. There are sixteen questions in the learning motivation questionnaire and one open-ended question on the student’s mathematics creative thinking ability test. The data is analysed quantitatively. The correlation between the learning motivation and the students’ mathematics-creative thinking ability was analysed by using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation with ⍺ = 5% and N = 619. The research showed that learning motivation and five of its indicators have positive and significant correlations and have contributed to the increase with a student’s mathematics creativity ability and three of its indicators.
