This study aims to examine and describe the effect of contextual learning assisted by Geogebra on creative thinking skills, increased creative thinking skills, students' self-concept towards mathematics and the relationship between creative thinking and self-concept. The research design was an experimental group with a pretest and posttest control group. The experimental group received geogebra-assisted contextual learning and the control group received conventional learning. To obtain research data, instruments used in the form of tests of creative thinking skills and students' self-concept attitude scale. The output in this research is in the form of learning tools (lesson plans and worksheets) that use geogebra-assisted contextual learning, instruments for tests of creative thinking abilities and students' self-concept scales. Quantitative analysis was carried out on normalized post-test and gain data on creative thinking skills and self-concept data between the two sample groups using the mean difference test of the two populations. The instrument used was 12 questions about creative thinking skills and 31 statements about self-concept. To find the difference in the average used t-test and use the Pearson test to find the correlation coefficient. The results showed that the creative thinking skills of students who received geogebra-assisted contextual learning were better than students who received conventional learning. The results of the self-concept scale indicate that the self-concept of students who receive geogebra-assisted contextual learning is better than the self-concept of students who receive conventional learning. The results of the self-concept scale also show that self-concept affects students' creative thinking abilities either totally or based on student groups, namely the experimental group and the control group.
