The ability to think creatively in a mathematical context is essential for students in the 21st century. In a global creativity survey carried out in 2015 by the Martins Prosperity Index, Indonesia was positioned 115th among 139 countries, with a score of 0. 202, included in low category. One strategy to address this issue is by nurturing students' creative thinking skills in mathematics education. One exciting option for teaching is Problem-based Learning. This study aims to reevaluate how the Problem-based Learning approach can improve students' creative thinking skills in mathematics, building on existing research findings. The research method employed is meta-analysis, which involves the following steps; (1) formulate the topic; (2) overall study design; (3) sampling; (4) data collection; and (5) data analysis. Based on the results of the study, an average effect size of 1, 057 was obtained in the high category. Meanwhile, based on the t-test enhancement test, obtained tᵥalue=17, 020≥tₜable=1, 648. In conclusion, the average performance of classes utilizing Problem-based Learning is higher than that of classes using other models. The further research is needed regarding the application of Problem-based Learning to cube and cuboid material at junior high school level because the related research is the only research reviewed that has a medium effect size value
