“…A framework to this approach is based on the works Brousseau [9] and Sierpinska & Kilpatrick [10]. We apply the principles of this theory confirming the importance of the analysis a-priori, and a-posteriori quantitative analysis of results.…”

Often solved problems are problems of students' motivation in the process of teaching and learning. Some authors see the solution in creation a more space to students' creativity in teaching and learning. It is the aim of modern pedagogic and humanistic education, too. The submitted study aims to present possibility of how to teach geometric constructions in connection with real life tasks. The topic Geometric constructions give us space to teach mathematics in interesting way and offer students to be creative. The creative tasks are those tasks which are unknown for students and their content is surprising and nontraditional. We will prepare lesson activities according to official Slovak document entitled National Program of Education. Communication skills and ability to collaborate of students' will be factors of their success in the prepared lesson. Students have to solve problems where do not exist one solution and their content relates to interdisciplinary between geometry and fine arts. For evaluation of students' solutions will be used an implicative analysis with statistical software C.H.I.C. (Classification Hérarchique Implicative et Cohésitive).

“…In the context of Malaysia as a nation that always ensures that infrastructure and technological developments are achieved by its citizens, the need for creativity is inevitable due to changes in government policy which concern more on the industrial sector. Mathematics is known as a primary part of human life, thus mathematics education should be considered as one of the opportunities for creativity to take part [12].…”

Becoming a world-class education system is one of Malaysia's aspirations that will allow the citizens to achieve their full potential besides contributing to country advancement. One of the goals of national education is to provide human resources for the needs and progress of the country. However, Malaysia is facing a phenomenon where despite its globalization in higher education, the percentage of unemployed graduates remains high. The requirement of creativity in problem-solving is not only highlighted as an essential ability in STEM education, but also one of the important skills in the industrial field. Graduates fail to meet the employer requirement due to lack of creative skills in problem-solving which leads to difficulties in getting a job. This paper attempts to discuss this deficiency from the creative perspective and highlight the reasons why it is important to study more on creativity among our students at all level especially in the field of mathematics. It is acknowledged in Malaysia's higher education blueprint where 'improving the quality of graduates' becomes one of its top five aspirations. Students' performance in tertiary mathematics is reflected by what and how students learn in primary and secondary mathematics prior to the admittance into the university. They should have the creativity to apply, connect and synthesize all the knowledge and information that they attained from primary, secondary and tertiary level to the work field. Lack of creativity in mathematics could be one of the contributing factors for the struggle that the students encounter when faced with these transitions. Without enough resources and relevant articles on mathematical creativity research in Malaysia, this is a problem to tackle for the improvement of the future generation. The need arises for researchers and educators to start to assess and fully realize the level of mathematical creativity among the students in order for the next step on developing creativity for the future and increasing quality citizens for the sake of country's growth and development.

“…Mathematics is one of the subjects taken by the students in formal education from Elementary School to College. Švecová stated that one objective of mathematics education is to prepare the students for dealing with the situation of real life effectively [2]. This can be inferred from the students mathematics learning outcome.…”

Mathematics learning can stimulate the students to think critically and logically for the problem related to the real life. The initiation to mathematics learning for the first time at elementary. The aim of the research was to find out the need for cooperative learning model with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach for mathematics learning in elementary school. This research was performed by descriptive qualitative approaches. The subject of research involved teacher and student respondents in the fifth grade of elementary schools in Karangpandan Sub District. An interview was performed to gain information from teachers and students. This techniques can reveal the implementation of mathematics learning in the classroom, also as a documentation to find out the mathematics learning outcome of students. This research suggested that cooperative learning model with RME approach can be used to improving the students' mathematics learning outcome. Due to some reasons: (1) most of the teacher still using conventional learning model; (2) students involvement in mathematics learning was still low, and (3) teachers didn't connect mathematics learning to students' real-life context.
