Hi, Mam. 
How can I use the method of teaching Maths by using nature at the time of lockdown?

A lot of mathematics can be taught by observation. Problem sums which are generally solved theoretically could be taught by live examples! Also the concepts of shapes, patterns, 3-D structures, Progression, Ordering, Probability, Weight, Measurement etc could be taught them better by using nature and daily life. Even Axioms and Postulates could be taught in such a manner. Ask them to relate their lessons with daily life and spend 10 minutes the next day asking them if they could do it. Break big concepts into little examples which can be demonstrated so that it becomes easier for them to grasp the theoretical concepts. Utilize the time of this lockdown for demonstrations using kitchen and things around you. Like how specific and measured amount of ingredients alters the taste. How if we fill water to the brim of the utensil while boiling, it flows out etc. Thanks.
