Abstract
This paper builds on the premise that classrooms are
complex systems and explores how teachers might use
understandings of complexity science and, in particular,
conditions recognised as fostering complex emergence, to
establish the kinds of mathematics classroom environments in
which creative thinking is likely to occur. It is argued that
creativity is a property of both the classroom environment and of
the thinking of individuals and that the fostering the former
promotes the latter.
