This study has to do with creative product in mathematics. We analyze Taylor's creative product according to a different developmental level of creativity, Taylor's creative product inventory, Besemer & Treffinger's creative products analysis matrix, O'Quin & Besemer's creative products semantic scale(CPSS) etc. The purpose of this study is to make creative products semantic scale in mathematics. O'Quin & Besemer's CPSS consists of 55 items, bipolar adjective checklist. We confirm that O'Quin & Besemer's CPSS is not fit to use for mathematics creative products. So we develop Creative Product Semantic Scale in Mathematics(MCPSS) which consists of 33 items, bipolar adjective checklist. Our result will provide convenience to mathematics teacher who guides a student make a creative product.

In this article we study structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics using mathematical creative products. We develop MCPSS1 that improve reliability and validity of MCPSS(Creative Product Semantic Scale in Mathematics). And we search structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics using mathematical creative products focused on theoretical investigation. So we suggest structure model of the concept of creative products focused on theoretical investigation. We compare the result with preceding research using various mathematical creative products, find some difference between relations of sub-factors of structure of the concept of creative products. Our result will provide meaningful data to mathematics education researchers that want to know structure of the concept of creative products in mathematics.
