Creativity is the source of maintaining scientific progress, the development of any subject, any knowledge are inseparable from creativity. As a subject, mathematics also need creativity to continue developing, meanwhile, mathematics also can foster students’ creative thinking.In recent years, the inquiry teaching of mathematics is becoming increasingly popular. The primary goal of inquiry teaching is the liberation of the student’s thinking. So that the student themselves can find the problems and solve them.The best way to develop student’s creative thinking is participating in the math competitions. By this way, students can feel the profoundness of mathematics and inspire their creative thinking. That will not only reflect in students’ better understanding of mathematical practicability, but also has significant help on other subjects’ learning.This thesis quotes two Hungarian secondary school mathematics competition questions, to explore the relationship of mathematics competition and the students’ creative thinking. The main contents include:the importance of creative thinking, the steps of developing students’ creative thinking and five principles of the steps. Mathematics competition has five important influences on education. And the close relationship between mathematics competitions and the creativity.
