Abstract
<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aimed to describe the creative thinking process of students with active learning styles in proposing and solving problems on geometry material. The research instruments were Honey and Mumford's Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ), problem-solving and submission test sheets, and interview guidelines. The LSQ questionnaire was distributed to students majoring in mathematics education at a university in Malang, Indonesia, with a total of 200 students. Students who have an active learning style and meet the specified criteria will be selected as research subjects. Based on research on creative thinking processes in proposing and solving problems in students with active learning styles, it was found that there were differences in behaviour between subject 1 and subject 2 at each stage of creative thinking. However, based on the researcher's observations of the behaviour of the two subjects at each stage of their thinking, there are similarities in behaviour, namely, they tend to be in a hurry to do something, prefer trial and error, and get ideas based on daily experience.</p>
Highlights
Creative thinking skills are needed in facing future challenges (Trilling & Fadel, 2009)

Summary
Creative thinking skills are needed in facing future challenges (Trilling & Fadel, 2009). Individual success is strongly influenced by his creative abilities (Sternberg, 2003). Because success in dealing with problems begins with creative thinking (Susilo et al, 2018). Creative thinking is a process of thinking that is original and reflective and produces complex products, including synthesizing ideas, generating new ideas, and determining their effectiveness, as well as the ability to make decisions. Creative thinking is usually associated with generating new solutions in dealing with problems (Arends & Kilcher, 2010). When associated with the creative thinking process, it can be interpreted as a stage or process that combines logical thinking and divergent thinking in solving problems
