Abstract: Junior college students often experience difficulty with mathematical induction. In this study, the data collection involved the use of proof-writing tasks in questionnaires followed by interviews of selected students. With respect to students’ performance, they had difficulty with questions that involved formulating a conjecture and then proving it using mathematical induction. The junior college students had significant difficulties with the conceptual, procedural and technical aspects of the proof technique. The inability to complete a proof was also attributed to a lack of specific mathematical content knowledge. From the study, some good mathematical skills exhibited by good students were observed.
