In German schools, Mathematik is usually just shortened to Mathe (like math/maths in English). Do you do something similar in your language?

In czech an (informal) way to say it is "matika"

British English shortens it to Maths, I gather. American English calls it Math.

Danish is usually very similar to Norwegian, but we never shorten it; it's always matematik.
