Abstract
Mathematics problem solving has natural ties to creativity. Creativity research has long linked creativity directly with the problem solving. Because creativity and problem solving go hand-in-hand, it is important that mathematics teachers at all levels become aware of their own creative thinking abilities. The purpose of this study is to examine the creative thinking of pre-service elementary teachers while problem solving in an online geometry course. All course content, instruction, communication, and interactions take place online. Pre-service teachers’ problem solving methods are examined through their solution methods. The framework used to analyze the data is Guilford and Merrified (1960) six kinds of thinking abilities that involve creativity. The findings address issues in the promotion of creativity while problem solving in an online geometry course.
