Mathematics is the one language (yes - it is a language) that everyone, regardless of background, can communicate.
Time, money, age are just the basics that we see math in our world.
How about these "basic" examples:
measurement, estimation, budgeting home concerns, rank ordering, the computer/internet, cell phone usage, reproduction, wear and tear, warranties on merchandise, care for gardens and crops, protection from UV rays, sports performance, physical fitness, weight loss, medicine, dieting
These are all examples that we take for granted in our daily life that are governed by "the numbers game" Established rules on numbers make or break these, and many more, basic factions in our world.
Our need to understand why we need to do certain things and certain times and manners makes the math behind the numbers relavant in our life.

You can find math equations/relation in the environment but, in my opinion, the environment and nature does not operate within the confines of math. It runs on instincts and genetics and unknown forces. Math is a concept derived from the human mind trying to explain and understand things using the left brain.

Weather forecasting is done by computers that use mathematical modeling of the environment.

Most of it goes on inside your head, so it's not much related to your surroundings
