Creative Thinking Ability in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

The ability to think creatively in learning is needed, especially in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study was to examine students' creative thinking skills in learning mathematics. Data is collected through related journals for review. The research method chosen in this study is the SLR (Systematic Literature Review) method. Data collection was carried out by documenting and reviewing all articles on creative thinking skills published in 2018-2019. The articles used in this study were 10 articles from accredited international and nationally accredited journals obtained from the Google Scholar and Scopus databases. The results show that learning with open-ended learning has an important role in building creative thinking skills, to build students' creative thinking skills in mathematics lessons in the future need to be considered as a broader collective learning process and design through a learning approach that can build creative thinking skills and also increase the role of teachers in the student learning process. Creative thinking ability is very closely related to students, especially in learning mathematics because creative thinking can bring many benefits to students.
