I love to teach my students with real life examples. Most people are unable to process mathematics because it seems abstract. But the truth is the basics of maths is all physical. Every concept of maths builds on these physical basics. 2 + 2 is the same and combining a set of two oranges and another set of two oranges together.
When I initially encountered the concept of infinity, I was dismayed. It is almost impossible to understand the extent of an unending phenomenon. I would like to break that down to you. Imagine a basket that can take any number of oranges you put in it. Suppose you keep trying to add more and more oranges to it. It seems to never end. At some point you are going to lose count. Why? Because, this basket never seems to get full. Whenever you want to describe the oranges in that basket, you are going to say, "My basket of oranges". Why? Because you have lost count and all you know is that there are a lot of oranges and the basket never gets full. This is the idea of infinity, infinity is like this basket. It is a lot of numbers that you cannot name. No matter the amount of numbers you add to it, it still remains infinity.
This is a snippet of how I breakdown my explanations to my students.
