I like math and I am also creative so I am wondering what would be some good hobbies for me?

You might want to check out kirigami... lots of math people like that.
Then there are also electronic things of all kinds and computer programming/etc., as well as all kinds of building things and making models, etc.
This would also depend a lot on other interests and abilities you have... for example: also interested in words, try Scrabble or technical writing ... also interested in visual media, try photography or just all kinds of visual arts (many polymer clayers and quilters find a lot of expression in the shapes and combinations possible in those mediums) ... also interested in athletics, try cross-country running, fencing, or just collecting stuff and statistics... also interested in politics or helping people, volunteer to do statistics, etc., for a non-profit or favorite political person/group.
You might also ask this question on an online group for those interested in math (yahoogroup mailing lists, various message boards, Usenet groups--now available through googlegroups, etc.)

Well, if by including that you are creative, I'm guessing you're looking for a hobby you will actually 'create' something in, rather than playing a board game or sudoku. Nothing wrong with those things, you just don't necessarily exercise your creative muscles doing it and have nothing to show for it other than pride! My suggestion would be to knit (or crochet - I do both but prefer knitting). Once you understand the basics and try a few patterns, you can implement your own style and start creating your own garments. I'm currently working on creating my first 'original design' top. You use a LOT more math than you would think to figure out how to shape the garment in a flattering way. (I don't mind the math, I'm an engineer!).
If you're interested in trying it out, check out www.knittinghelp.com. There are lots of videos to show you how to get started.

Hi:
Try the following :
Crochet or knitting : involute counting stitches, matrix math, geometry and trigonometry
Woodworking :
Scroll saw and fretwork and intaria: involves trigonometry, geometry the basic maths ,mechanics, a good eye for seeing the patterns that repeat.
Furniture making trig,geometry, basic math and a good eye for detail
Ship building same as furniture making
Star Grazing basic math knowledge of the star in the sky
Math book collecting: Knowing your antique math books and math tables
Collect documentary video tape of Math shows and science shows
Collect computer books and electronic books as well
Build and collect Scale model rocket
Build scale model of things - build your own train yard or city.
Collect code word search books
Painting and Art & crafts
Music & musical intruments
The sky the limit here my friend. So you should start with something that you like to collect and go from there.
Hope this helps.

They say Chess is conjured up using the same parts of the brain that math does. Study and play chess with someone, or go online.

Try sudoku. I love maths, and I love sudoku. I'm also interested in programming and discrete maths. Both is cool

Quilting -- it uses angles and measurements. You could use your math skills to adapt and create your own designs instead of just following patterns.

Let me suggest backgammon or chess. These games are based upon math formulas and would keep your interest.

design things. my brother also likes math and he likes to build. that way you are dealing with all of the measurements and angels. kind of like being an architect. (i think)
