There are two words for 'mathematics' in Tagalog: 'matematika' and 'sipnayan'.
Sipnayan appears more popular, with 'matematika' perhaps a more formal name for the subject. You could also use 'palatuusan', which means 'arithmetic.'
English is predominant in some parts, with Tagalog, or Filipino as it is sometimes called, more used in others. Tagalog is the primary language for the island on which the capital, Manila, is situated.
