Özet

Mathematical creativity is the ability to produce new and original mathematical work. It involves students' ability to develop new ideas using acceptable mathematical patterns and models. It also includes their ability to find original solutions, apply principles in different contexts, and develop multiple solution strategies. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the mathematical creativity and mathematical achievement of middle school students. The examination will be in terms of individual factors such as gender and grade level, and environmental factors such as family education and economic status. The study, which uses correlational research design, a quantitative research method, comprised 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students (209 boys, 189 girls) selected using cluster sampling from three schools with different socio-economic levels in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Data were collected using the Mathematical Productivity Test and Achievement Tests. Correlation Analysis and Independent Samples, Single Factor Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) were used in data analysis. The study revealed a positive, moderately significant relationship between students' mathematical creativity and achievement. Female students' mathematical creativity levels were found to be significantly higher than male students', although the effect size of this difference was low. In contrast, no significant gender difference was found in terms of mathematical achievement. It was determined that grade level did not affect mathematical creativity, but fifth-grade students' mathematical achievement was significantly higher than that of other grade levels. Finally, it was concluded that as both the educational and economic levels of a family increase, students' mathematical creativity and achievement also increase significantly. Supportive educational practices are recommended for students from low-socioeconomic families, encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning, generate innovative solutions, and develop their mathematical creativity skills.
