This study aimed to design a model of creative thinking based on mathematical literacy (MCTBML) to deepen students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics applied to other fields and real-life problems. This developmental research (R&D) was based on Plomp [1], and it refers to co-operative and problem-based learning (PBL) stages. The study involved 203 students from SMK Kartika XX-1 Makassar, Indonesia, in the odd semester of 2022/2023.The research data were obtained through observation, an open interview, followed by a test. The designed MCTBML is organised into the following phases: orientation, exploration, elaboration, presentation and evaluation. Creative thinking and mathematical literacy instruments have been assessed and declared valid. From the research findings, including the student tests, it can be concluded that the model's application facilitated students’ ability to interact effectively with their peers in the learning process, and improved their mathematical literacy and creative thinking. © (2023) WIETE.
