- Abstract
Every person has an equal opportunity to pursue education, with no exception for visually impaired students. Sometimes, it is difficult for them to learn mathematics, especially geometry. Geometry is usually learned by visual that visually impaired students have limitations due to damaged eyesight. Creative thinking will help visually impaired students to solve this problem. This paper aims to describe visually impaired students’ creative thinking in solving geometry problems. The subjects of this research are visually impaired students. This paper is qualitative research with a descriptive exploratory study. The aspects used to know creative thinking are fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Students use creative thinking when solving the problem “Draw a kite with different size of each angle (minimum two kites)!”. On the novelty aspect, students can use their problem-solving method using the right process and result. The student can give more than one related idea to solve problems and state it clearly on the fluency aspect. On the flexibility aspect, the student can use a variety of strategies to solve the problems. Students can solve problems mathematical through creative thinking.
