AN ANALYSIS OF STUDENT’S MATHEMATICAL CREATIVE THINKING ABILITY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ON GEOMETRY

Mathematics Education

This study aimed to describe the ability of mathematical creative thinking students in solving the problem of geometry comprehensively. Research subjects of senior high school students 5 Padangsidimpuan as many as 6 people consisting of each 2 students low, medium and high category. Creative thinking problems as a top priority to achieve the research objectives. it is important in learning mathematics education. Identify the problem of mathematical creative ability in solving a mathematical problem. What is the ability to think creatively in the mathematical learners in solving geometry problems? It is expected to result in study solutions to maximize the creative thinking ability of learners in learning. There is an absolute requirement that learners must fulfill in each category of ability to understand the material, and readiness to try and error in writing alternative solutions. The results show the students in three categories in the indicator of creative thinking ability. Students in the low category of students . Only able to load indicators of fluency and flexibility. Student B is capable of loading smoothness and authenticity. Students in the medium category of students C is able to contain fluency, flexibility, and authenticity. Student D is capable of loading flexibility, authenticity, and detail. Students in the high category of students E is able to contain fluency, flexibility, authenticity, and detail. Student F is able to contain fluency, flexibility, authenticity, and elaboration.
