Science and technology subjects in schools are intended to let students acquire advanced competencies in science and technology and to cultivate critical and creative scientific thinking. Mathematical creativity is an important indicator of mathematics learning in different parts of the world. The importance of creative thinking is reflected in the last few decades which shows a great deal of research on creative thinking ability. The indicator of creative thinking ability, including fluency, flexibility, and novelty are reflected in learning problem posing. Problem posing scenario is categorized into three types, free problem posing, semi-structured problem posing, and structured problem posing. This study aims to explore students' mathematical creative thinking ability by analyzing students' problem posing test. The subjects of this study are vocational high school students of equal age with high school students in Indonesia. In addition, students have been given the material first before getting the problem-posing scenario. The measurement and instrumentation in this study include mathematical problem-posing test, creative thinking ability test, and interview. The differences of problems posed by students will also be analyzed based on indicators of fluency, flexibility, and novelty. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
