The aim research is to obtain a description of designing of the GeoGebra-assisted mathematical task created by pre-service mathematics teachers. This study uses a qualitative approach to observe the phenomenon of participants in making mathematical tasks. 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. Creativity in the mathematical tasks designed is shown by a participant when they the integration of mathematical topics with GeoGebra for a specific task purpose. The results obtained in this study are mathematical assignments designed by utilizing the feedback generated by GeoGebra both geometrically and algebraically. The aimed of mathematical task design is at introducing new content, giving students the opportunity to apply procedures in new situations, and developing problem-solving, improving understanding skills, connections, and generalizations. These results indicate that pre-service mathematics teachers try to find creative mathematical tasks that integrate mathematics topics with GeoGebra.
