| 520 | 3 | |a Mathematical creativity remains a complex and often contested construct, with its definition and measurement still subject to debate. While the four classic indicators—elaboration, flexibility, fluency, and originality have provided a foundation for research, they alone cannot resolve the field’s conceptual “fuzziness.” This paper examines mathematical creativity through three intersecting lenses: intelligence, intellect, and education. Intelligence is viewed as cognitive capacity, providing the mental resources for abstraction, problem transformation, and reasoning. Education offers the conceptual tools, heuristics, and domain knowledge necessary for productive problem solving. Intellect—closely associated with the personality trait of openness—supports curiosity, tolerance for ambiguity, and exploration. We argue that the interaction among these three factors influences the likelihood of producing mathematically creative processes and products. Drawing on contemporary research, we propose a model that integrates cognitive ability, educational attainment, and personality characteristics to better predict creative potential. This model highlights how educational environments can either foster or inhibit creativity and suggests that creativity is not a fixed trait but a dynamic outcome shaped by opportunity, knowledge, and affect. We conclude by discussing implications for assessment, curriculum design, and future research, encouraging a more nuanced approach to cultivating mathematical creativity across diverse educational and cultural contexts. | |
