This study aimed to determine the results of the implementation of reciprocal Teaching in improving eighth- grade students' mathematical creative thinking skills with the unequal control group research design. This study shows the results that the post-test mean score of the experimental class is better than the control class. Furthermore, the increase in students' mathematical creative thinking skills in the experimental class was greater than that of the control class students, even though both were in the moderate category. In addition, based on the results of the N-Gain test per an aspect of mathematical creative thinking skills, it is also seen that all aspects of mathematical creative thinking skills have increased after receiving reciprocal Teaching. This study concludes that the implementation of reciprocal Teaching improves students' mathematical creative thinking skills. One recommendation from the results of this study is that reciprocal Teaching can be used as an alternative to support students' high order thinking skills.
