Abstract


Creative thinking is an important ability in mathematics, but the studies that have analyzed students' creative thinking abilities on angle material are still limited. This study aims to determine the mathematical creative thinking ability of junior high school students on angle material. The type of research is quantitative research. The instrument used in this work is a test of mathematical creative thinking ability, questions in the form of a description test are given to seventh grade students in one of the junior high schools in Jantho City, Aceh Besar. The results showed that students' creative thinking ability in the angle material were still low with an average percentage of all indicators is 26%, where the percentage of the fluency indicator was 36%, the flexibility indicator was 42%, the originality indicator was 22% and the lowest percentage is the elaboration indicator, which is 3%. On the question of elaboration indicators, almost all students are not able to answer.
