The study analyzes the creativity of 5th grade Elementary School students in elaborating and solving mathematical problems involving numbers. The research adopts a qualitative and documentary approach, based on two activities carried out by students in the classroom, in which they were encouraged to create and solve problems. The analysis reveals that the practice of problem posing favors the development of mathematical abilities and stimulates creative and critical thinking. The students demonstrated originality and flexibility when exploring different problem-solving and reformulation strategies. It was found that integrating creativity into the teaching of mathematics makes a significant contribution to understanding the content and engaging students in the learning process.
