Abstract
This paper explains how mathematical calculations help to create awareness and understand the seriousness of the problem of heavy school bags. It is an experimental research done with the help of students. The researcher has done the survey of weight of school bags and also different items students which students carry with them. For the same a group of 5 students from STD V TO VIII was guided to carry out the process. Comparison of weight of bags of all students from STD III to VIII was done. With the help of calculations, group has tried to create awareness about the same through exhibition, display boards and parents meetings. We have created awareness among the students and teachers by arranging the lectures of Doctors. Not only this with the help of students we have tried to create awareness about this issue in the society through the local radio channel. Also worked with the solutions for the same problem for these classes. It helped to reduce the weight of schoolbags. Thus it focuses on, how education helps to develop the problem solving attitude and solve the problem susing technology as well as mathematics in the daily life right from the younger age.
