is that where "maths" originated from? I taught in an international school and a couple students kept saying "maths" and when I tried to correct them they said that was how everyone said it in their previous school.

"Math" is a classification.

"Maths" is a broad range of subjects. (Calculus, Algebra, etc.)

Example: Cheese is a classification. Cheeses are many things.
