 Curriculum: МАTHEMATICS
Goals and objectives

The goal of teaching mathematics in high school is: that students adopt elementary mathematical
competencies (knowledge, skills and attitudes) that are necessary for understanding the phenomena
and laws of nature and society, and which will equip students for the implementation of adopted
mathematical knowledge (in solving a variety of tasks from practice) for the successful continuation
of mathematics education and self-education; and to contribute to the development of mental skills,
the formation of a scientific view of the world and the comprehensive development of personality of
students.
