The importance of exploring students’ mathematical creative processing abilities in numeracy tasks can support policies in applying the Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) for students in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, this case study aimed to uncover and analyze junior high school students’ mathematical creative processing abilities in solving numeracy tasks. The researchers collected data through written tests and interviews and then selected the subjects, namely 32 students of grade XIII at the International Islamic Boarding School of Malang in the 2020/2021 academic year. The data processing included reduction, presentation, concluding, and verification. The results showed that most of the students (66%) had mathematical creative processing abilities in numeracy tasks at the medium level, while the 13% and 21% were at the high and the low levels, respectively. All the students from all the categories completed the imitation stage. Only those at the medium and the high levels could solve the modification stage, and only those at the high level could complete the construction stage.
