Creativity is an important aspect to face the global challenges. Creative thinking skill is a skill that is needed in this era to face problems in all aspects of modern life. Creative thinking is a thinking style which allows individuals to produce new products, find new solutions, and new ideas. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of students' creative thinking in solid geometry. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of this research were three students from 8th grade student of SMP N 8 Purwokerto Banyumas regency. The students were classified to high-ability, moderate-ability, and low-ability. The data were collected through creative thinking test and interview. There are three aspects of creative thinking: fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Based on the results, three subjects didn't fulfill novelty, students who had low-ability had creative thinking level 0 (Not Creative), students who had moderate-ability had creative thinking level 1 (Almost Not Creative), and students who had high-ability had creative thinking level 2 (Quite Creative).
