The document discusses mathematical creativity and ways to stimulate it. Mathematical creativity is defined as producing unusual and insightful solutions to problems irrespective of complexity. Characteristics of creativity include developing original ideas and having the freedom and willingness to change. To stimulate mathematical creativity, teachers should receive training in creative teaching skills and continuously improve. A creative environment can be developed through well-equipped classrooms, open discussion of problems, and adequate time and resources to explore new issues. Various teaching methods beyond lectures can also be used, such as debates and group projects, to develop creative self-study habits among students.
2. Creativity is the ability to produce novel or original
work.
Mathematical creativity is the process that results in
unusual and insightful solutions to a given problem,
irrespective of the level of complexity.
Mathematical creativity is observed when one
generates a nonstandard solution for a problem which
may not be solved by using a standard method.
10. Teachers of Mathematics must know and internalise the
creative ways of Teaching and for the same they must get
training in Intellectual skills, Teaching skills and Evaluation skills,
along with continuous in-service Training.

Well equipped Mathematics room/laboratory, free and flawless
discussion on mathematical issues/problems, optimum facilities and
time to deal peculiar and new mathematical problems/situations can
yield Creative Process and Creative Environment.

Utilisation of different methods of teaching such as Brain Storming,
Group Discussion, Buzz Session, Seminar, Symposium, Interview, Panel
discussion, Debate, Cooperative Learning besides the traditional
methods specially Laboratory, Inductive – Deductive, Analytic –
Synthetic, Lecture Demonstration, etc.
