Abstract

The present study aims at identifying students’ creative thinking in applying various representations to solve mathematical problems. This descriptive study was done in a senior high school in Makassar, Indonesia. The subjects were two selected students with high spatial-visual intelligence taken from 62 grade XI students who participated in the pre-test. The data were gathered from students’ written work in problem solving and visual-spatial test, and interview. The analysis of data was done qualitatively using deductive approach. The research showed that the students’ creative thinking was involving the symbolic and visual representation, and visual-spatial intelligence. The steps of creative thinking can be explained in four steps, as follows: (1) Preparation, including information gathering (symbolic representation) and problem translating, (2) Incubation, including ideas and conjectures constructing, (visual and symbolic representations), connecting and recalling the appropriate concepts to solve the problem (3) Illumination, including ideas designing and applying (visual representation) and (4) Verification, including solution testing (symbolic representation) and conclusion making.
