Mathematics

Students acquire and understand the practical applications of mathematics in everyday life and in their future careers. They learn to recognize, understand, and apply connections, rules, patterns, and structures. International learning also includes exploring different computational procedures and methods used around the world.

Students become familiar with various units of measurement and how language can influence mathematical understanding—such as when telling time. In addition to meeting learning objectives, high-achieving students are expected to demonstrate the following skills and competencies:

  • Use appropriate vocabulary and subject-specific terminology

  • Make connections within mathematics and across subjects, successfully applying mathematical knowledge in other disciplines (especially in the sciences)

  • Engage with current real-world processes both locally and globally, including ethical considerations related to data use

  • Use available technology appropriate to the subject, including calculators

  • Demonstrate academic honesty in all areas of study

  • Achieve all personal learning goals

Alignment with the Hungarian National Curriculum

To ensure that Szeged IPS students fully meet the requirements of the Hungarian National Core Curriculum (NAT) in mathematics, we provide additional math lessons in both lower and upper primary levels. These lessons follow the Hungarian curriculum using MOZAIK textbooks, ensuring that students can transition smoothly into the Hungarian education system if needed—whether during or after primary education, or in preparation for secondary school.

In the final two years of upper primary, the timetable also includes preparation for the national secondary school entrance exams
