Study the proofs of each chapter in your book, also the solved examples related to them. Read the definitions carefully. Practice systematically.
Practice them. You need to do many of them and do them over and over again.
"Proofs are fun! We love proofs!"
A proof is a very abstract thing. You can write a formal proof or an informal proof. An example of a formal proof is a paragraph proof. In a paragraph proof you use a lot of deductive reasoning. So in a paragraph you would explain why something can be done using postulates, theorems, definitions and properties. An example of an informal proof is a two-column proof. In a two-column proof you have two columns. One is labeled Statements and the other is labeled Reasons. On the statements side you write the steps you would use to prove or solve the problem and on the "reasons" side you explain your statement with a theorem, definition, postulate or property. Proofs are very difficult. You may want to consult a math teacher for help.
