Abstract

Abstract. The aim research is to obtain a description of designing of the GeoGebra-assisted mathematical task created by pre-service mathematics teachers. This research uses the qualitative approach of descriptive design. Participants are 26 pre-service mathematics teachers who will implement the program of teaching experience in mathematics teaching in high school in Ciamis. Participants work in the group about 3-4 people to make a GeoGebra-assisted mathematical task, the topic is the system of two linear equation. The analysis of creativity result of GeoGebra-assisted mathematical task design based on the aim of task and competency to be achieved by the students. The results obtained in this research is mathematical task designed using feedback generated by GeoGebra: (1) It is purposed to introduce new content, allowing learners to apply procedures in a new situation and developing problem-solving; (2) It produces reasoning skills in comprehension,connection, and generalization. The results show that prospective math teachers try hard to find out, create innovation and imagine to design mathematical tasks which are integrated by GeoGebra creatively.
