摘要：Many researchers assume that people are creative, but the ir degree of creativity is different. The notion of creative thinking level has been discussed . by experts . T he perspective of mathematics creative thinking refers to a combination of logical and divergent thinking which is based on intuition but has a conscious aim. The divergent thinking is focused on flexibility, fluency, and novelty i n mathematical problem solving and problem posing. As s tudents have various background s and different abilities, t hey possess different potential in thinking pattern s , imagina tion, fantasy and performance; t herefore, students have different level s of creat ive thinking. A research study was conducted in order to develop a framework for students' levels of creative thinking in mathematics. This research used a qualitative approach to describe the characteristic s of the level s of creative thinking . Task - based interview s were conducted to collect data with ten 8 th grade j unior s econdary s chool students . The result s distinguished five levels of creative thinking , namely level 0 to level 4 with different characteristic s in each level . These difference s are based o n fluency, flexibility, and novelty in mathematical problem solving and problem posing.
