Algebra problem solving in this research use exploration, idea formation and justification stage. This research method is think alouds and semi structured interview. Researchers describe students' thinking in solving algebra problems. The results show that students who can come up with different solutions use creative reasoning. The results of the study are expected to be a contribution for teachers to design material questions that lead to the formation of creativity.
