: Critical and creative thinking are the two essential competencies of the four competencies required in the 21st century. However, both are still difficult to achieve well by students due to lack of training during the course of mathematics learning. This study was conducted to determine what model of learning is appropriate to develop students' critical and creative thinking skills. The study used three class samples from class VIII. First class is given problem posing lesson, second class is given contextual learning and third class as control class. The results of the study indicate that improving students' critical and creative thinking skills are included in the moderate category for classes using contextual and contextual classroom posing problems. In addition, it is also found that contextual learning is more effective for improving critical thinking skills when compared with learning posing and exposure problems. Meanwhile, learning problem posing is more effective to improve creative thinking skills compared with contextual and expository learning.
