creative thinking, mathematical literacy, primary studentsAbstract
In general, the creative thinking of primary students is still low. Meanwhile, creative thinking is needed for students to solve problems more innovatively. On the other hand, solving skills in mathematical literacy are needed for students to solve real problem contexts. Empirical phenomena show the existence of students’ creative thinking in solving mathematical literacy problems. While existing studies have not been able to analyze it. This study aimed to analyze primary students' creative thinking in solving mathematical literacy problems. The research used a qualitative method with a case study design. The research subjects were 15 fourth-grade primary students grouped based on high, moderate, and low levels of each creative component (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration). Instruments used tests and interviews. Data analysis used data reduction, presentation, and conclusion, as well as triangulation.
