Core subject in schools (5)

I believe the answer is:

maths

(Other definitions for maths that I've seen before include "Science of numbers etc" , "Study of numbers and sums" , "Algebra, geometry, calculus etc (abbr)" , "Subject involving figures (abbr)" , "The science of number, quantity and space" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
