<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low level of student engagement in the learning process and the difficulties experienced by teachers in delivering mathematics lessons to students with varying academic abilities at MTsN 6 Agam. These conditions were further affected by limited instructional time, resulting in students having an incomplete understanding of the learning material. This study aimed to determine the mathematical creative thinking abilities of eighth-grade students in class VIII-6 at MTsN 6 Agam. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 29 students from class VIII-6 as research subjects. Data were collected through a written test based on indicators of mathematical creative thinking and were analyzed by determining the students’ ability levels according to their achievement percentages. The findings showed that fluency in thinking was categorized as moderately creative, with 8 students (27.59%) classified as creative, 16 students (57.17%) as moderately creative, and 5 students (17.24%) as less creative. Regarding originality, 18 students (62.07%) were classified as creative, 4 students (13.80%) as moderately creative, and 7 students (24.14%) as less creative, indicating that this aspect was generally categorized as creative. Meanwhile, elaboration showed a relatively low level, with 1 student (3.45%) classified as creative, 1 student (3.45%) as moderately creative, and 27 students (93.10%) as less creative. Therefore, the students’ overall mathematical creative thinking abilities still require improvement, particularly in the aspect of elaboration.]]>
