Divergent thinking represents the potential for
creative thinking and problem solving. It is not syn-
onymous with actual creative behavior but has proven
to be a good estimate of it. It is also useful as a con-
struct or empirical research on creativity and in vari-
ous applied settings.

Brainstorming is a group creativity technique by which a group
tries to find a solution for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas
spontaneously generated by its members.
Brainstorming was developed and coined by Alex Faickney Osborn in
1953 in the book Applied Imagination.

Postpone and withhold your judgment of ideas.
Encourage wild and exaggerated ideas.
Quantity counts at this stage, not quality.

Question:
Do you think “math” class al-ways involves convergent think-ing?

How can we apply Divergent Thinking if the math unit is “Data analysis and Probability” ?
![Page 20: Divergent thinking represents the potential for creative thinking and problem solving. It is not synonymous with actual creative behavior but has](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5517e331550346d0568b45d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
After learning basic concepts of this unit, “Do the activities which can foster students’ cre-ativity through divergent thinking.”
Suggested Activity 1
: Let students search any data and graph used in our soci-
ety.
Students can find them in newspapers, magazines, and in-
ternet news.
Through this activity, students will learn how math subject
applies to other fields.
![Page 21: Divergent thinking represents the potential for creative thinking and problem solving. It is not synonymous with actual creative behavior but has](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5517e331550346d0568b45d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“Apply the knowledge in science!”
Suggested Activity 2
: Let students have a scientific experiment, for example,
physical and chemical changes in a science lab. Then stu-
dents will make a data table and a graph based on the result.
Through this activity, students can learn how they can record
the data and make graphs.

“My Data Project”
Suggested Activity 3
: Let students design their own data project.
Through this activity, students will learn how they can collect
data and make different kinds of graphs.
This activity, in particular, fosters students’ creativity.
