    • Abstract:
      In this article, the authors present a task that promotes mathematical creativity. The task focuses on defining new geometric concepts, whilst providing students with creative thinking opportunities. They discuss prospective mathematics teachers' experiences while conducting a geometric definition task. Prospective mathematics teachers who conducted the task recognised that defining a new geometric concept was cognitively demanding, while contributing their awareness of creative thinking in a detailed way.
