Abstract

Reasoning is one of ability that should be developed on students' mathematics learning process. Through reasoning students are expected to know that mathematics is not to rote the formulas but to understand, prove and make conclusion. This article discusses about students' mathematical inductive-creative reasoning ability, a mathematical study result from several sources. Inductive reasoning is the process of thinking based on specific data and lead to the general conclusion, while the creative reasoning is based on Lithner's theoretical framework that divides the two reasoning, they are creative reasoning and imitative reasoning. The results of this study formulate three indicators of mathematical inductive-creative reasoning abilities, such as creative generalization, creative analogies, and creative patterns.
