ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to describe schemata and students creativity in solving mathematical problem about a Geometry. This study is qualitative research. The data of this research were collected by the method of think out loud and task analysis, by giving test questions and conducting interview according to students' responses. Miles and Huberman's analysis technique are used to analyze the data. The result showed that there is variety of student's schemata based on their creativity in solving mathematical problems. Students with high creative thinking skills had complete and systematic schemata structures, while students with less creative category had incomplete schemata. The process of students with high creative thinking skills was arranged in coherent and systematic ways and diverse answers. The incomplete schemata made them not be able to find the relationship between concepts. Students with less creative category have unfavorable schemata and cannot provide a solution to the problem.
