<p class="JRPMAbstractBodyEnglish">The purpose of this study is to improve students’ creativity through problem solving learning. Students’ creativity is an important issue in Mathematics Economics class. Some of the problems that occur are (1) the lack of students in asking questions; (2) low idea of students; (3) lack of courage in expressing opinions; (4) lack of ability to solve difficult mathematical problems in class, and (5) ) lack of courage in defending his opinion when discussing. This research is a classroom action research on mathematics economics course in Mathematics Education Department, University of Muhammadiyah Purwokerto in 2018/2019 academic year. The research phase includes (1) planning, (2) implementing actions, (3) observation, and (4) reflection. The results of this study show good results, because of the 55 students, only 3 students who scored less in the category and the second cycle only 1 student who scored less. Therefore, it can be concluded that problem solving learning can enhance students’ creativity.</p>

This study aims to determine the development of children's creativity through constructive play activities using media blocks. Constructive play is a form of game by using physical objects to build or create things. This game occurs when children engage in a creation or construction of a product or a problem solving of their own creation. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK) or Classroom Action Research. This study was conducted in two cycles. Subjects in this study were group A semester II of Kindergarten Alifea academic year 2016/2017, as many as 13 children (5 women and 8 men) with the aspect that is assessed that is participation, attention, independence, creativity and ability to tell. Data creativity of children in constructive play with media beam collected by using the method of observation with the instrument in the form of observation format sheet. Research data were obtained and analyzed qualitatively. Based on the results of data analysis obtained is on the first cycle of 46.1%, Cycle II obtained data of 81.5% So there is an increase in creativity development from cycle I to cycle II of 35.4%
