The type of research used is experiment and quantitative approach with research design using posttest only group design. Data analysis of two groups used the t-test on SPSS 21, that is Independent Sample t-Test to test the difference in average posttest value of two samples. The results of this study are (1) results of the t-test from post-test data obtain a significance 0,000 where it is lower than 0.05 so can be said that the average of the two groups are different, (2) from the post-test results, the answers given by students from the experimental group more fulfilled the indicators of creative thinking than students from the control group. Keywords: Quantum Learning, Mind Mapping, Creative Thinking INTRODUCTION Learning in schools is one of the medium to improve the quality of education (Saifulloh, Muhibbin, & Hermanto, 2012). If the learning process in school does not optimal, it can be preconcerted that the education quality is not good. The education quality in Indonesia that requires quality improvement is mathematics, considering those mathematics is a basic science that can train students to think critically and logically (Sudia & Majja, 2016). Skills in counting and logical thinking must be improved. Students still face up many difficulties in accepting math learning because mathematics is abstract and has many symbols (Soedjadi, 2000). Quantum learning was initiated by DePorter by providing a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere in learning so that students can gain new experiences in learning. This statement is consistent with the sentence that Samad (2015) did, that the learning outcomes of tenth-grade students of SMAN 2 Makassar increased after applying a quantum learning model in the learning process. The effort that can be applied to improve the quality of education is by matching the learning model with the growth of students' thinking patterns. By applying the correct learning model, teachers can engage students in learning. Teachers can use the Quantum Learning learning model as an alternative learning model when a teacher deliver the learning materials in the classroom. The learning model that can provide a suggestion that learning must happen feedback between teachers and students is the Quantum Learning model (Mohiddin, 2016). Education and learning activities using quantum learning models need to involve
