Imitative and creative reasoning for mathematical problem solving (in context horticultural agribusiness)

The aim of the research is to describe the ability of imitative and creative reasoning for mathematical problem solving, in context of horticultural agribusiness. The research was held by qualitative approach toward six students as of participants, all of them are vocational students of horticultural and agribusiness in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. The students were given a test and interviewed in order to get the Data about the ability of mathematical reasoning. Here are the result: (1) No student do memorize reasoning;(2) students' reasoning when the logarithmic remember mathematical procedures; (3) The students started the process of solving the problem by using the procedures of cultivation, then follow up with a mathematical procedure, in this case, the students do local creative reasoning; (4) students do creative reasoning to create a sequence of procedures, suggests a predictive statement based on the nature of mathematics; (5) students helped solve the problems presented in the context of an agro business-horticultural competence. These results show that the mathematical problems presented in the context of agribusiness-horticultural reasoning raise a lot more creative.
