Abstract:
Mathematical creativity refers to the ability of students to discover, propose, analyze, and solve mathematical problems in a presented problem or situation, reflecting flexibility, fluency, and originality. However, there is currently a lack of effective and reliable measurement standards for mathematical creativity. Mathematical creativity, as a specific field of creativity, requires reliable scientific evidence and measurement methods. Through literature review, a mathematical creativity measurement method based on fluency, flexibility, and originality was constructed as the measurement standard for mathematical creativity. Mathematical creativity is a specific field that can be developed through various teaching practices, including problem-solving, problem posing, open-ended problems, multiple solution tasks, modeling, and model inspiration tasks. Integrating these teaching practices into the mathematics classroom can develop students’ potential mathematical creativity.
