Modern society requires more creative persons capable to present innovative solutions for the problems found in the several contexts in which they live. To cope with such social demands, the development of creativity was included as one of the educational goals at all educational levels. Thus, in the educational context, the need for implementing strategies and actions that stimulate and foment people's creative potential has increasingly been acknowledged. In this regard, this article aims to contribute with reflections about these strategies in one of the areas of the school curriculum, Mathematics. In this area, the studies have privileged problem solving, the formulation of problems and the redefinition of didactic and methodological strategies that make possible the development of creativity. Thus, an attempt is made to discuss, in this study, the relations between creativity and Mathematics, describing such strategies.

Palabras clave : Creativity; Mathematics Education; Teaching Strategies.
