Abstract
This study aims to describe the process of creative thinking of students based on the Wallas model. This study has research qualitative descriptive using triangulation data. Subjects were categorized as high, moderate, and low ability after being given a test of creative thinking ability. The object of this research is the existence of how junior high school students solve mathematical problems. Data were analyzed through the classification of representations, and conclusions. The results showed that 1) there were 20% of students who did not complete and only reached the preparation stage, called the low category group; 2) there are 53.33% of students reaching the illumination stage even though to arrive at this stage students need a long time, called the medium category group; and 3) 26.67% of students have completed the verification phase, called the high category group. For students with low and medium ability categories, they still need assistance when experiencing obstacles in their creative thinking process, while high ability students need enrichment material.
