ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate algorithmic reasoning and creative reasoning of prospective
mathematics teachers in solving problems. This research is a qualitative research. The research
subjects are prospective mathematics teachers with high working memory capacity (HWMC) and
low working memory capacity (LWMC). Based on the results on algorithmic reasoning, it is known
that for subjects with HWMC using algorithms to solve the given problems. While subjects with
LWMC using sum and multiplication rules to solve the given problems. On creative mathematical
reasoning it is known that for subjects with HWMC using a novel strategy, providing predictive
and verification reasons for the selection of strategies, and providing convincing reasons
accordance with the intrinsic mathematical properties. While subjects with low memory capacity
had difficulty providing a verification reason and the reason that the way of solving was in
accordance with the intrinsic mathematical properties.
