This study aims to describe the creative thinking process of students in solving math problems in terms of differences in gender. This study qualitatively examines the creative thinking process of sixth semester students of mathematics education at the Faculty of Science and Technology, UIN Walisongo. The data collection techniques used in this study were questionnaires, tests, interviews and completed with documentation. The data analysis techniques in this research are data reduction. The data analysis technique in this research is data reduction and data validity by using time triangulation, namely by looking for the suitability of interview data which originates from the problem of two similar questions. The results showed that gender differences did not significantly affect students’ creative thinking abilities. Male subjects need stimulation of questions from researchers to compile information correctly and precisely. Male and female subjects monitored the problem-solving process well, but both had not yet carried out an evaluation process.
