Mathematical Creative Model: Theory Framework and Application in Mathematics Learning Activities

Abstract

One of the most crucial abilities in the face of global issues is creativity. Because of this, research on creativity is always intriguing, especially in the context of mathematics education. Two investigations pertaining to original mathematical models are presented in this paper. The first study had 72 primary school instructors who took part in enhancing mathematical learning. Participants given open challenges with cube net material. Out of 137 high school students that consistently responded, 124 were included in the second study. Two descriptive statistical issues affect secondary school students. After a thorough interview to understand the subject’s thought process, the results of the problem-solving process were used to support the subject’s stance using an original mathematical model. Impersonation, adaptation, and building make up the creative model’s structure. The findings demonstrate the consistency of mathematical creativity model properties. The subject only imitates a successful routine method due to the level of imitation. According to the characteristics of the level of modification, the subject is able to alter the methods discovered in order to meet the difficulties at hand. The hallmarks of the creation level are that they develop novel, rational, and methodical approaches to problem-solving. Based on the findings of this study, a new method of learning mathematics was devised. The open-ended activities that have been packed into the form of a mathematical tree are utilized, together with the strategic approach to problem-posing.
