Abstract	The main purpose of the current study is modifying students' daily drinking water and managing waste water through modelling activities as context and modelling cycle as tool. In this study, 12 students (13-14 years old) from the lower secondary school were participated. These students were participated in two sessions (60 minutes) each week for three months. Three modelling activities had been designed for this study. These modelling activities were related to the amount of water consumption. Classroom activities were video recorded and used as data in this study. In some cases, interviews conducted and used as complementary data. Tension which happened during the implementation of these two activities analyzed with activity system as a theoretical framework. The results of this study show that students were able to manage and modify their daily water consumption through doing modelling activities. Results of this study also show that power of mathematics could help students to solve their real-world problems and help them to have better life.
