The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between academic performance in mathematics and students’ creativity levels and coping styles. To this aim, a sample of 91 fourth-graders from Madrid, Spain, took the CREA test to evaluate creativity and the EAN to evaluate coping styles in mathematics; their average grade in mathematics was used as an indicator of academic performance. The results reveal the existence of significant correlation between performance and creativity, as well as between performance and coping style, while creativity and coping style predict academic performance in mathematics. These findings have educational implications for enhancing academic performance in mathematics.
