Your mom's stove has the stupid +/- touch UI, just like mine. Using a knob would solve the problem. I am not complaining because +/- is easier to clean. The other issue is that induction is invisible, there is no flame. But moving stuff around on x-y has the same effect as with a gas stove. On induction, the pan is the stove. Take it off the induction and the heat subsides. Move it off center and you heat only part of the pan.
