Abstract
This study aimed to describe the profile of prospective teachersattention in interpreting students' mathematical thinking in the domain of inversed proportion. The subject of this research are5th semester undergraduate students of Mathematics Education Program from Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. We selected eight students who can attend to student's strategies in solving Building Construction Problem. Qualitative analysis was used to obtain profile of prospective teacher attentionin interpreting students’ mathematical thinking based on the model prospective teacher used.When interpreting students' mathematical thinking, prospective teachers pay attention to: operations performed by students, concepts and formulas used by students such as: the concept of direct proportion, inverse proportion, cross multiplication, distributive property of multiplication, and the stages of problem solving according to Polya's steps.Their attention is much influenced by tacit knowledge and past experience.
