ABSTRACT : Now a days the main goals of any educational system should be fostering inner creativity in the individuals. Creativity is a dynamic property of the human mind that can be nurtured and enhanced and should be valued. It is also strengthened through activities. Therefore, it is important to know the meaning of creativity and its characteristics. The basic nature of mathematics provides a suitable platform for developing creativity. By studying exhaustively contemporary literature, this paper makes an effort to gain an insight into the nature of mathematical creativity by emphasising on learning environments to nurture and foster it, not only within school situations but also colleges, as the expression of mathematical creative behaviour changes from one level to another.
