The article considers the issue of patriotic education of students in the process of teaching physics and mathematics at school. The relevance of integrating the patriotic component into the curricula for the exact sciences to develop respect for national history, culture and scientific achievements in schoolchildren is substantiated. Theoretical aspects and practical methods of patriotic education are proposed, including a historical and scientific approach, project activities and the integration of patriotic themes into educational tasks. Examples of tasks for students in grades 7–9 are presented, aimed at developing patriotic consciousness through familiarization with the achievements of domestic scientists and engineers, as well as the use of physical and mathematical knowledge to solve applied problems. The importance of these methods for increasing the interest of schoolchildren in physics and mathematics, developing their civic responsibility and preparing them for professional activities is emphasized.
