Sažetak
Thinking about the future of education at all levels, we need to ask ourselves which pupils' characteristics need to be encouraged and how to prepare them for tomorrow's challenges. Creativity has undoubtedly been highlighted as one of the most important factors to be promoted during the teaching process. Creative teaching methods encourage students to think, create freely and actively participate. Consequently, it creates a pleasant teaching climate with the presence of humor in the classroom. This is also a feature of today’s understanding of modern teaching and active learning. The results of some researchers point out that creativity in teaching is still not given as much significance as it should be, especially in the context of teaching mathematics, which is the core of other scientific fields. Media in teaching represent a notable contribution to raising the quality of teaching, and textual media, as the oldest among them, are still indispensable in primary school student books. In this context, the tasks that appear in them are especially important, and the focus of this paper is open-ended tasks that appear in primary school mathematics classes. Previous research on this issue has not gone in a direction favorable to creativity. The aim of this pa- per is to show the importance of creativity in teaching and the potential of open-ended tasks as a response to the demand to encourage creativity in teaching mathematics.
