Popis: The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of students’ mathematical creative thinking skills in solving problems through contextual learning based on high, medium, or low initial abilities. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. There were 6 research subjects of junior high school students in the border area of Malang and Blitar Regencies. Data collection was done by observation, tests, and interviews. The results of this study are (1) High-ability students can fulfill three indicators; those are fluency, flexibility, and novelty according to the material, so that they are in the very creative category. There are high ability students who fulfill two indicators; those are fluency and flexibility well based on the material, so that they are in the creative category. (2) Middle-ability students can fulfill an indicator namely flexibility according to the material, so that they are in the category of quite creative. (3) Low ability students can fulfill two indicators, namely fluency and flexibility well based on the material, so that they are in the creative category. (4) The profile of students’ mathematical creative thinking skill in solving problems through contextual learning based on early mathematical abilities was different. The profile of students’ creative thinking skills is expected to be a teacher’s reference to determine appropriate assignments and assessments to be given to students.
