Mathematics subject curriculum (MAT1-03)

The subject has been organized into main areas for which competence aims have been formulated. These main subject areas supplement each other and must be considered together.

This subject is a common core subject for upper secondary education programmes. Learning in the subject shall therefore be made as relevant as possible by adapting each subject to its education programme as much as possible.

Mathematics has competence aims after the second, fourth, seventh and tenth year levels in compulsory and after Vg1 (the first year) and Vg2 (the second year) in programmes for general studies and vocational education programmes in upper secondary education.

There are two subject curricula for Vg1. Curriculum T is more theoretical, while Curriculum P is more practical.

Both curricula qualify candidates for higher education together with either the common core subject Mathematics at level Vg2 (2T/2P) or the programme subject Mathematics (R1/S1).

Pupils taking the vocational subjects shall have three fifths of their Vg1 curriculum in 1T or 1P.
