Abstract

In this study creativity is taken in its most common meaning: the ability to transcend
traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, and the like, and to create meaningful
new ideas. During the last few years, we have been investigating knowledge shifts
among different settings in inquiry-based classrooms. The goal of the current study is
to investigate creative mathematical thinking within the shifts of knowledge in an
inquiry-based mathematics classroom. We demonstrate the creativity within shifts of
knowledge via a whole class discussion and a group work. The shifts of creative
knowledge started with an individual student and often served as a kind of milestone
in the inquiry of the topic.
