Özet: Mathematics is known to be one of the subjects that is established around the world as a topic that has no language. This could considerably be due to its symbols, shapes and formulas. As a result to this, this study compares the educational system of mathematics and its structure in the TNRC and in South Korea. Based on the result of the organization of TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) it was seen that South Korea was appropriate for this case. The research was based in investigating the mathematics educational system in middle schools in both countries.  The reason for comparing the differences among the two chosen countries was the principles, the content and the purposes of what was taught in mathematics. This addresses the reason a qualitative research was used in this inquiry to compare South Korea and TRNC mathematics educational system.It is considered that if a country wants to improve its educational system it mostly depends on the individuals that live there, as a result, an individual can only develop by having a strong educational system in their country. It was observed that students in South Korea knew how to solve equations were able to resolve problems in their daily lives.
