Students need to develop creative mathematical thinking skills because these skills support academic success and are linked to a creative attitude an affective aspect that fosters the emergence of new ideas. In reality, students struggle to come up with new ideas when solving problems because they remain fixated on the examples provided. Therefore, learning that integrates technological support is necessary. This study aimed to investigate mathematical creative thinking skills in integral calculus using Google Sites. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study strategy. Data were obtained from students enrolled in the integral calculus course through interviews, observation, documentation, and questionnaires. The results showed that students with high and moderate creative attitudes were not yet able to fully meet the four indicators of mathematical creative thinking skills. The errors that emerged were predominantly conceptual errors that developed into procedural and technical errors. Google Sites-assisted learning through PBL was able to support group collaboration, but it had not optimized conceptual understanding and individual mathematical creative thinking skills. These findings imply the need to strengthen conceptual understanding, provide more interactive learning activities, and conduct individual evaluations to optimize the development of mathematical creative thinking skills.
