The purpose of this study is to find out how fifth-grade students apply creative thinking abilities to solve open-ended mathematical problems The study was conducted with 19 fifth grade students from a public school in a rural area, Kampar, Indonesia. The data were collected by giving 10 open-ended mathematical problems on whole numbers, fractions, and geometry and measurement. Creative thinking abilities of fifth-grade students in solving open-ended mathematical problems view from three indicators; fluent thinking, flexible thinking and original thinking.
