Summary:The purposes of this research were to determine the critical thinking dispositions in solving recreational mathematics. The subjects were students of first year of bachelor's degree mathematics education study program. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. 4 participants selected based on 4 levels of combinatorial thinking after solving the recreational math problem that is the opposite corner. The test results were analyzed based on disposition toward critical thinking and combinatorial thinking processes. The indicators used were truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematics, confidence in reasoning, inquisitiveness, the maturity of judgment. The data analysis showed the thinking process in solving problems showed that students were able to bring up indicators of critical thinking disposition through each stage of completion.
