        abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of proving theorem or conjecture 
in mathematics and the types of proofs which may be produced by students. Proving 
is closely related to mathematics. Students are taught about proof since they are in 
junior high  school.  However, there are  many  researches  reveal that  many students 
lack of mathematical proving ability. Many teachers only focused on the product of 
the proof than the process of proof. This make proving to be a little bit confusing for 
students  since  they  do  not  know  how  the  process  of  proving.  In  this  paper  I  will 
discuss  the  steps  of  proving  stated  by  some  expert  started  by  exploration  of  the 
problem  situation  until  formulation  of  formal  proof.  In  addition  to  understand  the 
proving  process,  it  is  important  for  mathematics  teachers  or  researchers  to 
understand the types of proofs produced by students in order to analyze development 
of  students  proving  ability.  In  this  paper  will  be  explained  the  types  of  proofs 
including empirical proofs and ded uctive proofs.},
