It's possible, if not likely, that they do some algebra and trig in Divination - likely Geometry too- and in potions, they're regularly refreshing basic maths, including percentages and fractions. Further, there's been debate here in the past as to whether Arithmancy may include maths as well.

This is a question I've had for a very long time; in fact, from the
moment I started the books I wondered this. If the students enter
Hogwarts when they are 11 years old, then does that mean that they
stop
learning math at a 5th grade (or the British equivalent) level? If
so,
it seems that the students graduate having only learned simple
arithmetic! Any theories? I'd love to hear them. :)
