Abstract


Mathematical creative thinking ability has an important position in solving mathematical problems so this study was aimed to describe the diversity of students' creative thinking abilities. It is in accordance with the fact in the field that was indicated by the score of two of the students which were over 70. So that it has an impact on the learning outcomes of students that are not optimal yet. And the objective of the research was to determine the profile of students’ mathematical creative thinking ability in solving mathematical problem. This research used descriptive qualitative research design.The data collection technique was in the form of a written test. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that: (1) MAS subject was included in the very creative category (TKBK 4) which the subject was able to meet all indicators, namely fluency, flexibility and novelty; (2) the MAPS subject was included in the creative category (TKBK 3) in which the subject was able to meet two indicators, namely fluency and flexibility; (3) ASA subjects fell into the fairly creative category (TKBK 2) in which the subject was able to meet one indicator, namely flexibility; (4) the FNA subject was included in the less creative category (TKBK 1) in which the subject only met the indicators of fluency; (5) ANS subject was included in the uncreative category (TKBK 0) in which the subject is not able to meet all indicators, namely fluency, flexibility and novelty.
