I'm studying math right now and I have that problem. We're just being vomited theorems and propositions in class instead of making us think. There's not a single subject dedicated to learning the process of thinking in maths. So I think we're learning the wrong (the hard) way.

Many undergrad programs (in the U.S.) now have a course in math proof, which is intended to introduce students to proof techniques. It seems helpful to learn how to write proofs without the pressure of learning the content of a subject (like linear algebra, abstract algebra, and so on) at the same time.
