Success in compiling questions is a critical aspect for prospective teachers in learning activities. The ability of prospective teachers to modify tasks is a phenomenon that needs to be investigated further. Research conducted by Vistro (2009), shows several innovation techniques that are used to generate new problems in mathematics. But this is not enough for the development in modifying the given tasks. Most of these are limited to modifying changes in the quantity of subjects involved in the task. This study aims to analyse the thinking processes of prospective teacher students in modifying questions. The subjects were 30 fifth semester prospective teacher students, and six students were selected for conducting purposive sampling to review processes detected in conducting the thinking process. Selected students were prospective teachers who answered unusual questions. The results of this study are students' thought processes in modifying questions so that they can produce innovations in building new tasks. © 2020, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
