Siswono classifies students' creative thinking abilities into 5 levels with each characteristic. The aim of this study is to describe each levels of students' creative thinking abilities in solving mathematical problemsbased on Siswono’s classification. The research used descriptive qualitative method. The subjects in this study were 5 students of class VIII at junior high school 02 Sutojayan in academic year 2018/2019 with each level of creative thinking according to Siswono. The results showed that students with level 0 could not meet the criteria of creative thinking, students with level 1 only met fluency criteria, students with level 2 only met the flexibility criteria, students with level 3 met the criteria of fluency and flexibility, while students with level 4 met the third criteria for creative thinking.
