Abstract

The study describes students' mathematical creative thinking skills in terms of gender differences in quadrilateral and triangular materials. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study were students of class VII C of State Junior High School 2 Gumelar using purposive sampling techniques. Researchers took three male students and three female students as research subjects. The data analysis techniques used in this study include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. From the data presented, the data validity test was conducted using triangulation techniques. Data obtained of test results of students' mathematical creative thinking skills, interviews, and documentation was used to describe students' mathematical creative thinking skills using the triangulation technique. There are four indicators used in research, namely smoothness, authenticity, detail, and flexibility. The results showed that male students could master one indicator of mathematical creative thinking ability: authenticity. While female students can master indicators of mathematical creative thinking skills, namely smoothness, authenticity, and detail, but cannot master the indicators of flexibility.
