      When I did my Pure Math undergrad this book was pre-reading for our intro to proofs course:

      Journey into Mathematics: An Introduction to Proofs (Dover Books on Mathematics) https://a.co/d/csM8jRd

      I seem to remember that by design it didn't require any advanced maths to get started constructing proofs. Good luck!
