The state-of-art in mathematical creativity

Creativity is a topic which is often neglected within mathematics teaching. Usually teachers think that it is logic that is needed in mathematics in the first place, and that creativity is not important and learning mathematics. On the other hand, if we consider a mathematician who develops new results in mathematics. we cannot overlook his/her use of the creative potential. Thus, the main questions are as follows: What methods could be used to foster mathematical creativity within school situations? What scientific knowledge, i.e. research results, do we have on the meaning of mathematical creativity?
