Effect of the Missouri Mathematics Project model on mathematical creativity

Abstract

The ability of creativity needs to be the focus in learning mathematics because achievements in learning mathematics develop students' mathematical creativity abilities. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the Missouri Mathematics Project model on students' mathematical creativity abilities. The research method used is an experimental method using purposive sampling techniques with instruments that use tests and questionnaires. The results of research on student responses in the Missouri Mathematics Project model obtained 87.72% who responded positively, with the value of students' mathematical creativity ability obtained 81.30 so that it can be said to be good. The research hypothesis test results obtained tcount> ttable (7.14> 2.02) that is the results can be accepted. The conclusion is that there is a positive influence on the Missouri Mathematics Project model with students' mathematical creativity abilities.
