PREFACE CAN CREATIVITY BE TAUGHT AND LEARNED? EVOLUTIONARY NECESSITY CAN CREATIVITY SPARK THE EXPERIENCE OF MATHEMATICS? IS A STEM CLASSROOM A GOOD PLACE TO (RE)LEARN CREATIVITY? THE ROLE OF MIRROR NEURONS IN EXPERIENCING CREATIVITY IN A GROUP PRACTICE OF EXPERIENCING CREATIVITY IN A GROUP CREATING GROUPS BASED ON A DIVERSITY OF SKILLS THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER CLASSROOM CREATIVITY SUPPORTED BY BRIEF CREATIVE ASSIGNMENTS CLASSROOM CREATIVITY SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH PROJECTS DEFINITIONS AND STAGES WHAT IS CREATIVITY? SOME LIGHT ON THE STAGES OF CREATIVITY CONSCIOUS VS SUBCONSCIOUS PREPARATION INCUBATION ILLUMINATION VERIFICATION REPEATING THE LOOP CREATIVE MATHEMATICS IN THE LIGHT OF BLOOM’S TAXONOMY HISTORY BASIC VIEW RELATION TO STAGES OF CREATIVITY DETAILED VIEW FURTHER IDEAS MATH ANXIETY?
