This study aims to examine the relation between spatial ability and creativity in Geometry. Data was collected from 94 ninth graders. Three spatial abilities were investigated: spatial visualization, spatial relations and closure flexibility. As for students' creativity, it was examined through a multiple solution problem in Geometry focusing on…

Purpose: This study aims to describe how creative thinking ability could be improved through correcting the thinking schemata using cool-critical-creative-meaningful (3CM) learning model. Design/methodology/approach: This study implemented mixed methods with explanatory sequential, which means a study that was conducted by collecting quantitative…

Mathematics is employed in cultural activities in traditional and nontraditional societies. Ethnomathematics refers to mathematical ideas integrated into a culture. The culture can be used as a transformation effort to explore mathematical concepts in order to bring the mathematics closer to the reality and understanding of its people. Moreover,…

The definition of creativity among professional mathematicians and the definition of mathematical creativity in the classroom context are significantly different. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between students' mathematical creativity (i.e., cognitive flexibility) and figure apprehension when solving geometric…

Learning can foster students' character as well as their understanding. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is one of learning approach to foster those competences. In this research, the learning-based RME will be supported by using the Geometer's Sketchpad. This study aims to improve the students' character through Realistic Mathematics…
