Abstract

In order not to be left behind in developments, the country needs human resources who can follow it efficiently using creative ways, including at the tertiary level, namely students. The ability to think creatively is an individual^s ability to analyze something based on existing information but also collectively be able to produce new, more perfect concepts and determine alternatives with various ideas that can be used to solve problems. The research approach used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research was conducted on class D students consisting of 42 students with details of 6 boys and 36 girls. The data collection technique was the dissemination of instruments through Google classroom and project-based group assignments in developing innovative mathematics learning media. The analysis technique uses indicators of creative thinking skills and data collected from product assessments and interviews if necessary. Analysis of the results of the development of innovative mathematics learning media is carried out by referring to indicators of students^ creative thinking abilities in developing innovative mathematics learning media. From the research that has been done, the researcher concludes that the development of students^ creative thinking abilities through the creation of innovative learning media is included in the modificative creative model, namely changing the shape of a product so that it becomes attractive and more practical and by developing innovative mathematics learning media students are able to make learning media based on problems. found so that it can help students in understanding mathematics learning material and illustrates that students^ creativity in developing innovative mathematics learning media is high.
