Creativity is finding a new way within a given frame and it is the ability to connect between segments of information, materials and experience, which exists in their own right, or were previously connected with different patterns. The current research engaged in solving problems that can be resolved in various ways or that they have several solutions, by excelling students and this in order to measure the level of mathematical creativity related to solving mathematical problems, by measuring the three elements of mathematical creativity: flexibility (multiple solutions), fluency (time needed to solve the problem), innovation (originality of ideas). It is important to emphasize that the way of solving tasks by using as many ways as possible, considered to be as one of the most efficient ways to the discovering and development of mathematical creativity. In the current research, 24 8th grade pupils from several schools have participated, every student received three diverse mathematical
