The objective of classification tree algorithms is to minimize the average weighted impurity of the resulting partitions. This is achieved through recursively partitioning the data based on the features that produce the greatest reduction in impurity, until the resulting partitions are pure or cannot be further subdivided. The resulting tree can then be used for classification or prediction.
