The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the 5E Learning Cycle with Metacognitive Techniques (LCM) and Mathematical Prior Ability (MPA) on Mathematical Creative Thinking Skills (MCTS). The subject of the study was 173 eighth grade students from high level school and medium level school in Indramayu, Indonesia. This study used the quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. At each school level, three classes were used in this study, one class used the 5E Learning Cycle with Metacognitive Techniques (LCM), and the other class used the 5E Learning Cycle (LC) and Conventional Learning (CL). The students were classified into three levels based on Mathematical Prior Ability (high, medium, and low). The instruments used are MPA test and MCTS test. The study reveals that in terms of overall and in every MPA level, LCM gives better influence on students’ MCTS than LC and CL, LC gives better influence on students’ MCTS than CL. There is an interaction effect between the learning model and MPA level toward the enhancement of students’ MCTS.
