Mathematical creative thinking is needed by students in addition to other abilities because it can provide broad thinking to get new ideas or new solution of mathematical problemsolving. The aim of this research is to describe mathematical creative thinking level on polyhedron problems for eight-grade students. This research was conducted at a senior secondary school in Indonesia with a total of 35 students in year 8. This type of research is a case study with inductive data analysis techniques which include: data reduction, data display, drawing conclusions and verification. The research instrument consisted of 4 test descriptions based on the aspects of mathematical creative thinking ability, interview guidelines and documentation. The result of this research concluded that students with a high level of mathematical creative thinking ability tend to solve polyhedron problems in the aspects of originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. Students with a medium level of mathematical creative thinking ability tend to give one overall correct answer to polyhedron problems in the aspects of originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. Students with low level mathematical creative thinking ability tend to give incorrect answers to polyhedron problems in the aspects of originality, fluency, flexibility, but in the elaboration aspect, it gives one correct answer even though it is not detailed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
