Abstract
This study aims to describe the level of mathematical creative thinking ability of tenth graders in vector material. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative. The subject of the study involved 34 tenth grade senior high school students in the Tasikmalaya area. Data collection techniques used a written test of four items in the form of descriptions. The data analysis technique is done by giving a score in accordance with the scoring guidelines used and categorizing the criteria for the level of ability of students mathematical creative thinking. The result showed that the majority students mathematical creative thinking ability are at a fairly creative level. Thus, students need to be given learning that can develop their mathematical creative thinking abilities.
